2021 Capital Project

On Dec. 7, 2021, Fayetteville-Manlius School District residents approved a capital project that provided infrastructure and programmatic space upgrades to F-M High School, the district’s only high school.

The project provided a more secure access and better connect House 1 and 2, which were originally separate buildings, allowing more opportunities for students to collaborate and better prepare students for the work they will be expected to complete when they move on to college and career settings.

The $52 million proposal aligned with the district’s 2020-23 Strategic Plan, which included a focus on capital improvement projects that enhance learning spaces and building security and accessibility and that ensure district facilities are responsive to contemporary teaching and learning needs.
