Clarkstown School Bond: 6 Things You Need to Know

1. The scope of the bond is to pay for $36.2 million worth of essential projects -- critical infrastructure and modernization. About 55 percent of the allowable project cost would be paid for by state education aid. The work would be done by 2019. The plan is to replace or reconstruct roofs at 15 buildings, replace boilers at four buildings, improve space and supporting equipment; and upgrade electrical systems (transformers) at 12 buildings. The roofs at Bardonia and Birchwood are still covered under warranty and would be reconstructed.
