Ardsley School Board Announces Community Meetings to Discuss Proposed Capital Improvement Bond

The Ardsley School Board is currently considering a $12.5 million capital improvement plan.  The proposed plan, if adopted by the Board, will require a bond which would be included as a separate referendum on the ballot in the upcoming May school budget vote. 

In order to gain the community’s input, two special community meetings devoted solely to the capital improvement plan will be held on Wednesday, February 26th at 7:00 p.m. and Wednesday, March 19th at 7:00 p.m.  Both meetings will take place in the Ardsley High School auditorium.  These meetings will include a presentation that will answer questions including “what projects are included and why?”,  “why do we need a bond?”, and “how will it be paid for?”  Following the presentation, the public will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

The focus of this capital improvement plan is on preservation of building facilities, energy efficiency projects with a return on investment, and security and safety enhancements.  The Long Range Planning subcommittee of the Board of Education has worked with the district administration to pare down a long list to only those projects that need immediate attention. 

The Ardsley Board of Education encourages all members of the community to attend the meeting and participate in this planning process.
