On March 6, residents of the Ossining School District will vote on a bond to fund major infrastructure and capital maintenance projects in the District's schools. Total cost of the 41.6 million dollar bond, after adding interest costs and subtracting New York State Building Aid, is 39.6 million dollars.
I support this bond because:
* The district's aging facilities urgently require serious remediation, including replacement of boilers, roofs, and windows. The bond addresses these needs as well as life safety concerns.
* The financing of the bond will not increase current debt spending levels, as the new debt will replace previous bond debt now being paid off.
* The flat debt approach means local property taxes will not increase due to the new bond.

Reaching this point has been a long road and the weight of these aging buildings is felt by all of us every day. Seeing this level of engagement keeps me moving forward even when the process feels exhausting. We have earned a seat at the table now.

The roofs have been leaking for years. My kids deserve a building that isnt falling apart.

Those boilers are ancient. It is a total waste of money keeping them running.
