Dear Tuckahoe Community, As previewed in my last letter, at their meeting earlier this week, the Board of Education voted to schedule a public bond vote for April 10, 2018. The community will be asked to consider a $9,987,000 bond to fund a capital project to address the District’s most basic needs for additional classrooms, safety and security upgrades, and high priority infrastructure repairs. Highlights of this plan include: -addition of a second story with eight new classrooms at William E. Cottle School to meet the demands of increased enrollment -construction of a new security vestibule at the William E. Cottle main entrance -Infrastructure priorities such as turf field replacement, renovation of Cottle field, communication system replacements, rekeying, energy system upgrades If passed, the cost of the project for a home with an assessed value of $8,500 would be $254/year. However, due to the retirement of existing debt, the net impact to a homeowner for the project would be close to neutral - approximately $60/year for years 1 and 2 and then cost neutral. Additional opportunities for residents to learn more and ask questions will be communicated shortly. Click here for the capital project section of the TUFSD website. Sincerely, Carl Albano Superintendent of Schools
