Leicester voters approve $50 million school renovation project

LEICESTER – Voters in Leicester approved a ballot measure that will raise $13 million to expand vocational programming at Leicester High School. Voters approved the measure, which appeared on the Nov. 3 ballot as Question 10, by a margin of 2,947 votes in favor to 1,793 opposed, according to preliminary results published by the Leicester Town Clerk's office. The measure approves $13 million from the Leicester tax base to contribute to an overall $49.8 million project to expand vocational options for students and renovate several buildings on Leicester High's campus. The remaining money will come from state funds, already approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority, and grants the district has already received. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the residents of Leicester for supporting the LHS building/renovation project and the expansion of Career Technical Education," Leicester Superintendent Brett Kustigian stated in a letter to the community. "The approval of this project, combined with the significant investment, is historic and it will benefit our entire community for years to come. Thank you for your trust, vision and commitment to our students." The project involves renovating several buildings the district acquired in 2022 following the closure of Becker College.
