Baldwin School District postpones $158 million bond vote

Baldwin School District officials have postponed the public vote for the district’s proposed $158 million bond which would help fund a multi-year capital improvement plan, titled Innovation 2020.

The vote was originally scheduled for Wednesday, March 18 at the high school. It’s not yet known when the vote would take place. 

Baldwin schools, as well as all Nassau County schools, will be closed for two weeks as of Monday, by order of Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, as coronavirus spreads throughout the area. 

In a letter to the community dated March 15, Schools Superintendent Dr. Shari Camhi said the Baldwin School District had no confirmed cases of coronavirus.

Remote instruction, or eLearning, began for kindergarten through twelfth grade students today. For more information, visit www.baldwinschools.org/elearningresources. For the latest updates from the district about coronavirus, visit www.baldwinschools.org/coronavirus. 

Parent/teacher conferences will be conducted over the phone instead of in person. The teachers will call the parent(s) or guardian at the scheduled time.
