Elmont School District Bond Vote

Creating a Healthier Learning Environment for Students

Highlights of the Proposed Bond:

• New heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems will be installed throughout all school buildings to meet current regulations for introducing fresh air and air exchanges in the classrooms.

• Air conditioning will be installed in all classrooms, cafeterias, libraries, gymnasiums and auditoriums, and the air will be cleaned using the latest technology in filtering and air-cleaning methods.

• Secured entrances and security systems will be installed at each school building.

• The proposed bond will include the removal of the remaining 10% of asbestos-containing materials.

• All classrooms will be modernized and student restrooms will be reconstructed to meet handicap accessibility, energy codes and lighting standards.

• The referendum will assist in the rebuilding of the six school buildings’ aging infrastructure, add to the longevity of those buildings and create a healthier learning environment for students.

• The total estimated cost for all bond projects is $52,000,000.

• The district will benefit from a 71.3% reimbursement in New York State aid, reducing the cost impact to taxpayers to $15,612,000.
