Lynbrook Schools Latest Bond Proposal Would Update Every Building

The Lynbrook Board of Education kicked off the new school year with its first meeting last week, in which it gave the community an update on the upcoming bond referendum. To prepare residents for the bond referendum on Oct. 3, Dr. Paul Lynch, assistant superintendent for finance, operations and information systems, presented on the revised bond proposal.

Lynch highlighted the district’s needs based on extensive input from the community, and noted the current bond realizes a reduction of approximately $15 million from the one presented to the community last year. He provided photos of the current conditions versus what a transformation could entail. He emphasized all buildings in the district would receive improvements, including air conditioning in all the elementary and middle school gymnasiums as well as a complete renovation of the middle school locker rooms, and significant improvements to the Atlantic Avenue wresting room.

Work at Lynbrook High School would include modernizing and expanding the science facilities, upgrading the STEM classroom, adding larger music and arts rooms, and creating a school store to work in tandem with a large classroom laboratory for the Career Development Program. He also presented financial figures and demonstrated how each resident could calculate their individual estimated impact.
