Norwood-Norfolk Central School District

— Norwood-Norfolk Voters Approve 21.3M Capital Improvement Project Vote —

 

NORWOOD, NY – 

 

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, residents of the Norwood-Norfolk Central School District voted to approve the proposed $21.3 million capital improvement project, with 130 votes for and 29 against.

 

This initiative will address critical repairs and upgrades across the district, enhancing both the interior and exterior school facilities. Planned improvements include modernization of athletic spaces such as the soccer field and track, as well as the replacement of outdated equipment and infrastructures. These upgrades are designed to benefit every member of the NNCS community, fostering a safe, modern, and supportive learning environment for students, staff and families.

 

“I’m thrilled and deeply grateful to our community for investing in the future of Norwood-Norfolk schools,” said Superintendent Brooke Ashley. “This vote is an incredible representation of Flyer Pride and affirms our shared commitment to providing a safe, welcoming, and inspiring space for working, learning, and growing.” 

 

This project will be funded through a combination of the district’s reserve funds and bond borrowing, with 98% reimbursement New York State Education Department (NYSED) Building Aid. There will be no additional cost to taxpayers.

 

Planning and design phases will begin immediately, with construction expected to commence in 2027.
