2014 2015 BOND DISCUSSIONS

Considering a Bond

FOR MAKING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

BEGINNING THE PROCESS

Every five years, Sayville School District is required to review both its short-term and long-term facilities needs and prepare a “Five-Year Needs Assessment and Facilities Plan” for making capital improvements. This is a systematic process that is based upon educational program needs, facility needs, cost projections, and sources of funding. This Plan includes reports from onsite inspections of each building, assessments of available teaching space, and our demographic study relating to new housing and student enrollments.

Before any decisions are made, however, the District also invites community members, parents, instructional and non-instructional staff, along with administrators to convene and form an advisory committee.

The goal of this advisory committee is to review the plan, discuss the recommendations, assign priorities for the improvements, and present these findings to the Sayville School Board of Education for review.

At that point, it is up to the Sayville Board of Education and the Sayville District Administrators to finalize and decide to go forward with these plans and present a proposed bond referendum for public vote.

• The first Meeting of the Advisory Board met on January 30, 2014 to open the discussion. (To view the introductory Powerpoint presentation, click on the related link below.)
