2026 Bond Information
Proposed Bond - May 19th, 2026
This bond referendum is a major step forward for our schools and our community. We are focused on the comfort and performance of our students and staff, which is why this plan includes installing air conditioning in our classrooms to combat increasingly hot school months. We are also proposing an upgrade to multiple turf athletic fields, providing a top-tier space for the whole Lindenhurst community while potentially lowering our long-term maintenance costs. In addition to these upgrades, the bond covers essential building repairs to keep our facilities safe and healthy. Because it has been nearly a decade since our last bond, these repairs and infrastructure upgrades are more important than ever to ensure said safe environment. By carefully timing these projects to align with retiring district debt, we can complete this vital work with minimal impact on the taxpayer.
