Three Village to place two-proposition bond on Jan. 20 ballot, district says

Dr. Stanley, identified in the transcript only as "Doctor," said the Three Village Central School District board approved placing a bond measure on the Jan. 20 ballot.

The bond contains two propositions, Dr. Stanley said: "1 on school safety, is our first proposition," and a second that would fund "some bathrooms and some of the turf field at the high school and some other items." He added, "Proposition 2 can't pass unless proposition 1 actually passes." Dr. Stanley said the board is "hoping that the community supports us in this endeavor."

Why it matters: The district said the funding is intended to address aging buildings and to pay for repairs. The announcement did not include a dollar amount, detailed project lists, or how costs would be allocated among schools. Those details will be needed by voters ahead of the Jan. 20 vote but were not provided in the update.

What was said and what is not yet known: The transcript reports the board "approved our bond for January 20 to be voted on," but it does not record who moved or seconded any motion, the vote tally, or the precise ballot language. The only specifics given in the update are the two proposition topics and the contingency that Proposition 2 is dependent on passage of Proposition 1.

Next steps: The bond is scheduled to appear on the Jan. 20 ballot. The district did not state when it will publish full project lists, dollar amounts, or a formal mailing of the proposition text to voters.
