Why are we here today?

JSCB Phase 2 Comprehensive Plan defines:

• Projects to be constructed in eligible schools

• Scope of renovations and funds allocated to each school

• Financing of projects

• Project schedules

• Development & Diversification Plan for Workforce & Business



Joint Schools Construction Board (JSCB):

• Created by Special Legislation by New York State in 2006

• Legislation is required due to NYS regulations pertaining to

municipal financing and borrowing

• Multiple phases of construction were anticipated to renovate all

schools

• Phase 1 is substantially complete; Phase 2 is in planning stages

• Buffalo and Rochester have similar legislation



JSCB Phase 1:

•$156 million dollars of construction - completed in 2014

• Roof Replacements Clary Bellevue Middle at Shea

• Fowler High School Total renovations / addition

• H.W. Smith K-8 Total renovations / addition

• Institute of Technology Total renovations / addition

• Dr. Weeks Elementary

Total renovations



JSCB Phase 2:

• Legislation enacted in 2014

• Up to $300 million of construction projects

• NYS comptroller to review financial plan and determine the

amount of construction the JSCB can afford

• Projects at up to 15 schools which are defined in the Legislation



1. Bellevue Elementary School

2. Clary Middle School

3. Corcoran High School

4. Danforth Middle School

5. Ed Smith K-8 School

By legislation, eligible buildings are:



JSCB Phase 2 Financing:

• NY State Education Department (NYSED) determines a MaximumCost Allowance (MCA) for each building based on a statewide

formula

• MCA is also called building aid

• In many cases, the District’s renovation needs for a particular

building exceeds the MCA

• Challenge is to prioritize renovations to maximize use of MCA and

minimize local taxpayer cost



2011 District Wide Master Plan:

• Significant Findings:

Limited seating capacity in High Schools

Stable enrollment anticipated for 20 years (~21,000 students)

Existing school facilities will be needed for the next 20 years



2014 Annual Visual Inspections (AVI):

• NY State mandated inspection and report

• Documents the conditions of all public K-12 School facilities

in NYS

• $908 million required to repair Syracuse’s facilities Does not include new programming

Costs will increase in future due to inflation



1. Bellevue ES = $21.5 mil

2. Clary MS = $34.4 mil

3. Corcoran HS = $64.9 mil

4. Danforth = $32.4 mil

5. Ed Smith K-8 = $37.8 mil
