Yorktown Central School District Board of Education

SPECIAL BOND PROPOSITION

March, 2004

To the Residents of the Yorktown Central School District:

On Tuesday, March 30, 2004, the Board of Education will ask you to cast your vote on a $2,400,000 bond for a capital improvement project to finance new roofs at Mohansic, Brookside, and Crompond Schools.

As has been reported at Board of Education business meetings and in our local newspapers, the architects have found that the roofs at these buildings have deteriorated. The bond will cover architectural fees, construction costs, construction management oversight, financing, and legal fees. On the advice of our architect, this referendum contains a 10% project contingency fund. New York State Building Aid for this project is anticipated to be 50% and applies to the actual roofing work and the cost of interest.

With your approval, this project will commence this summer when students are on break. With the completion of this work, all schools in the district will have new roofs that will protect the infrastructure of our buildings for many years.

Additionally, on March 30, 2004, you will be asked to vote on a $500,000 Capital Reserve Fund. The creation of this new fund will allow the district to flexibly address emerging capital repair projects.

Please visit the district web site for more information. The board and the administration fully anticipate that we will seek your approval for another larger capital improvement referendum this fall. If you have questions about this and possible future projects, please contact the office of the Superintendent or members of the Board of Education.

Sincerely,

Gordon Bruno
Superintendent of School

Patricia Harris
President, Board of Education
