On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, residents of the William Floyd School District will have the opportunity to cast their vote on a $78.5 million proposed facilities capital improvement project that will address several key areas encompassing all buildings. This proposed project, if approved, will be at zero additional cost to local residents (due to New York State building aid reimbursing nearly 88% of the costs along with the use of three voter-approved Capital Reserve Funds)! The vote will take place on Wednesday, March 26, from 6 am to 8 pm in the William Floyd High School east lobby.

This is possible because New York State provides nearly 88% reimbursement on capital costs ($0.879 cents) per $1 spent, and through smart financial planning, the district has created (and residents approved) three Capital Reserve Funds over the past four years. Projects will include but are not limited to: repairing aging infrastructure such as pavements, plumbing, communication systems, and providing expanded classroom spaces for additional opportunities for students. 

The three Capital Reserve Funds, established and approved by residents in May 2021 ($6 million), May 2022 ($5 million) and May 2024 ($10 million) plus interest earned, will account for the local share, with the rest of the cost (87.9%) reimbursed to the district by New York State Building Aid.

The district recently conducted the New York State Education Department’s required five-year building condition survey, which has identified several areas that will need to be addressed to continue keeping all buildings operational, safe and compliant to all New York State codes.

In addition to the various repairs to each building and throughout the district, there will be vast improvements to benefit our students and community.

Please remember to vote on Wednesday, March 26, from 6 am to 8 pm in the WFHS east lobby, 240 Mastic Beach Road, Mastic Beach, NY, 11951.
