Mamaroneck District Voters Weigh In On Bond Resolution

MAMARONECK, NY — The capital improvement bond that addresses end-of-life systems and safety issues for the Mamaroneck school district was passed overwhelmingly Tuesday by the public. According to unofficial results posted on the district's website, 80 percent of voters approved the bond.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert I. Shaps thanked the community for its support for the projects that will impact all the district's schools.

"As we reiterated in the past many months, the bond includes work that was identified as being necessary in the 2015 Building Conditions Report and is critical for the safety of our school buildings," he said. "Much of the work was deferred from previous capital improvement plans."

The projected cost of all the bonds is $49,755,170.

According to information on the district's website, the bond includes a range of projects to preserve infrastructure and ensure code compliance at all six schools and the transportation garage — from plumbing, mechanical and electrical work, updating of fire alarms, mechanical equipment and security systems to floor and ceiling repairs, asbestos abatement and repair and replacement of sidewalks fences, retaining walls, doors, roofs and windows.
