Construction Underway at KWS Bear Road Elementary District Urges Public to Use Caution and Avoid Closed Work Site:
The long-anticipated and much-needed construction is now well underway at one of the North Syracuse Central School District’s oldest elementary school buildings — KWS Bear Road Elementary School thanks to tremendous community support and determination.

The project has been a long time in the making, first seeking community support through a Capital Project Referendum in October of 2016. That vote was approved, but due to project costs being higher than planned, a second referendum was needed. That vote was also approved in December of 2019 ...
