The district gained approval on January 25, 2011, to begin contracting a roof repair project at the high school that would take place over the summer of 2011. The project did not have any tax impact on the community as it used funds from the district's emergency building repair fund and New York State Building Aid. The work was scheduled to begin on June 27, 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eastauroraschools.org/114010128202613737/blank/browse.asp?a=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&c=58391 |title=Archived copy |access-date=March 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306175756/http://eastauroraschools.org/114010128202613737/blank/browse.asp?a=383&bcob=0&bmdrn=2000&c=58391 |archive-date=March 6, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
