A $71.5 million bond has passed in the East Meadow School District.
1,132 votes were cast in favor of the referendum. 462 votes were cast against it.
The bond will allow for the financing of a comprehensive capital improvement plan. The proposed project includes improvements for every building throughout the district, centered on security upgrades, athletics and the arts.
At its highest cost, the bond would cost $31.86 annually for the average homeowner in the district. Because existing district debt is scheduled to expire during the life of the bond, residents would see decreases in some years.
“The district appreciates the support of the community and will keep residents updated on the progress of all projects,” it wrote in a Facebook post. “Once again, thank you for your support.”
