Glen Cove residents will have the opportunity on Tuesday to vote on a bond proposed by the Glen Cove City School District to complete a variety of renovations in the district’s six schools.
If passed, each school would see improvements in security; in its heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; and in its compliance with the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as other needed renovations. Four buildings would receive new additions, such as classrooms or elevators.
The proposed elementary school improvements include playground resurfacing at Deasy School, the addition of a second- floor restroom at Gribbin School, parking lot drainage at Connolly School and four new classrooms at Landing School. Additionally, Finley Middle School would receive improvements to Wunsch Auditorium, and the Glen Cove High School cafeteria, and many of its classrooms would undergo complete overhauls.
The bond is projected to cost roughly $84.6 million. Taxes on a Glen Cove household worth $500,000 would increase by roughly $36.53 per month, or $432 per year, contrary to erroneous figures published in last week’s Herald Gazette.
