Public To Vote On Hicksville's $41.5M Bond Referendum

The Hicksville Public School District Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a bond referendum that will go to community vote on Nov. 14. The bond will have no additional impact to taxpayers, and is comprised of two separate propositions.

Proposition One seeks to bond approximately $26.8 million in order to perform necessary facilities and educational upgrades for the students and community. These include roof replacements, renovations to libraries, computer labs, the addition of technology rooms, and heating, air conditioning and electrical system upgrades, districtwide.

Proposition Two, which is dependent upon the approval of Proposition One, would authorize the district to construct a complex, featuring a swimming pool and related additions, including a lobby, lavatory, locker facilities, paved parking lot and machinery. This would require an additional bond for approximately $14.7 million, still with no tax impact for residents.

Voting will be held at each of the elementary schools between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Nov. 14. Additional information will be available on the district’s website at www.hicksvillepublicschools.org and will be forthcoming to all residents.
