Hicksville Community Approves Upgrades, Aquatic Center

The Hicksville Public School District administration and Board of Education would like to thank the community for supporting the bond referendum on Nov. 14. Both propositions, which carry no additional tax impact to taxpayers, passed with overwhelming support.

Proposition One, which passed 822 to 256, will bond approximately $26.8 million in order to perform necessary facilities and educational upgrades for the students and community. These include roof replacements, library media centers, the addition of technology rooms, and heating, air conditioning and electrical system upgrades, districtwide.

Proposition Two, which passed 700 to 375, authorizes the district to construct an Aquatic Center, featuring an indoor swimming pool and related additions, including a lobby, lavatory, locker facilities, paved parking lot and machinery.

Thank you again to all of those who voted. Additional information is available on the district’s website at www.hicksvillepublicschools.org.
