Key Project Questions
Below are some of the key project questions regarding the Pettisville Unity Project.
Is the PI Levy affected?
The Unity Project is fully funded through nonlevied sources, ensuring no funds from the 2.5 mil Permanent Improvement Levy are used. Pettisville Schools made a commitment in 2021 to exclude levy funds from restroom and concession facilities at athletic sites, and the Unity Project fulfills that promise. The school’s contribution comes from the general fund, maintaining transparency and ensuring no overlap with levy funds while addressing critical needs across the district.
How is this project helping from a safety standpoint?
The Unity Project prioritizes safety for Pettisville’s students, staff, and community by addressing critical concerns. Library renovations will enhance security through features like moveable shelving and enclosing the open mezzanine, creating a safer, more functional space.
At athletic sites, new restrooms and concession stands will provide shelter during inclement weather and ensure access to water during hot summer events. Additionally, restroom facilities near the south field will eliminate the need for students using the outdoor classroom pavilion to cross County Road D, significantly improving safety.Where did initial funding come from?
Initial funding for the Unity Project came from a collaborative effort involving every major school organization, including Pettisville School, the Pettisville School Foundation, Music Boosters, FFA Alumni, and Athletic Boosters. These contributions reflect the shared commitment and passion of the entire school community to address critical needs and create a brighter future for our students and families. It’s a testament to how deeply this project resonates with everyone connected to Pettisville.
Is it possible to make a pledge over multiple years?
Yes, pledges can be made over a 2-3 year period, with the goal of completing all pledge funding by January 31, 2027. Flexible arrangements can be considered on a case by case basis.
How will my contribution be allocated?
Every dollar contributed will go directly toward the costs of the Unity Project. This campaign is intentionally designed to support all programs equally, creating balanced, modernized facilities that meet the diverse needs of our school and community. By uniting our efforts, we ensure no program or area is left behind.
