Capital Project Details

• Replacement of existing classroom unit ventilators with new unit-ventilators with air conditioning capacity in

addition to heat

• Installation of new roof top heating and air conditioning units including steel dunnage, electrical work, gas piping

work and associated roofing work

• Upgrade existing buildings’ electrical service to accommodate new equipment
• Installation of split heating and ventilating units in small offices
• Installation of sheet rock chases to conceal new piping
• Ceiling reconstruction work
• Casework reconstruction associated with the HVAC reconstruction work
• Asbestos abatement associated with the HVAC reconstruction work
• Automatic temperature controls associated with the new HVAC reconstruction work

The district expects to receive approximately 45% of total construction costs reimbursed from New York State.

Reimbursed Expenses to Minimize Tax Impact

Why now?

• The electrical systems in all of our aging

buildings need upgrading.

• The district’s current ventilation/air

circulation system does not allow for consistent temperatures in school buildings for optimal teaching and learning.

• The medical needs of students and staff

are increasing.

• This project will impact ALL students and

community members within the Oceanside schools.

Why a bond?

• The majority of the proposed project will

be eligible for state aid, with 45% of total construction costs reimbursed from New York State; reimbursements will offset budget expenses to minimize burden on taxpayers.

• The cost of borrowing is currently low.
