On behalf of the entire Herricks Public Schools Board of Education, I would like to thank all residents who voted on the recent bond proposition.
More than 80 percent of voters cast their approval for the project, which demonstrates that our community has a vested interest in the future of our district.
Thank you for lending your support to the proposal.
Through your approval, we are able to move forward with critical renovations to our schools, the community center and Shelter Rock Academy.
On a districtwide level, the proposed referendum will improve basic infrastructure such as bathrooms, doors, masonry and ventilation systems.
The plan also focuses on modernization at the high school to provide for a 21st century learning environment.
Improvements at the high school include renovation to an outdated science lab, the cafeteria, the field, storage sheds, bleachers and the fitness center.
Overall, we will now have the facilities to support the top-notch education that our district provides its students.
Again, thank you for your participation and support.
We will continue to keep the community updated as we move through the process of getting plans approved by the state Education Department and, of course, timing of the renovation projects.
Nancy Feinstein
Herricks Board of Education President
