Phase 2 plans add a 16-classroom wing at Van Wyck and additions at Wappingers Junior High

What happened

Planning documents for the next part of the capital project show a two-story addition at Van Wyck Junior High with 16 classrooms and a bigger cafeteria, plus new classroom space, a small gym and music room at Wappingers Junior High. Other items include a roof and new fire alarm at Myers Corners, an elevator at Kinry Road and new boiler burners at Vassar Road. These plans are not final.

Why it matters to families

The additions would add room for growing enrollment, but would also bring construction and traffic changes at two junior highs.

The evidence

The March 4, 2026 capital committee notes list these proposed Phase 2 items. Later notes say plans were still being reviewed and some items could move to a later phase.
