MIDDLEBURGH - Middleburgh Central School is planning to replace exterior doors at both the elementary and high school when the warm weather returns next year.

School board members approved the upgrades at their meeting last Wednesday.

Superintendent Mark Place said that at the elementary school there will be one door replaced that exits out to the Maze Craze to the side of the school. That door has been on our list to replace for some time.

The rest of the work is going to be adding electrification to some of the doors to allow them to be monitored remotely (not being propped open), and others will have card readers attached to them so that staff can enter using their fobs, Mr. Place said.

The cost of the projects has a maximum allowance of $100,000 for each building.

The current plan is for the high school to be completed prior to June 30, 2025, and the work at the elementary school occurring during next summer.

Board members approved state environmental requirements last week.
