2024 Bond Project Information

On January 23, 2024, voters approved the financing of various capital improvement projects through a bond referendum.  

At all four buildings, roofs will be replaced or repaired, representing the bulk of the project. Additionally, masonry, sidewalk, asphalt and curb repairs will be completed, and door ajar sensors will be installed to doors for added security. Highlights of additional work at Harborfields High School include the replacement of  auditorium seating, the installation of lights to the stadium field and the addition of air conditioning to the south gymnasium. Additionally, two tennis courts and the outdoor track will be replaced and select student bathrooms will be renovated. Improvements will also be made to several classrooms, as well as the student courtyard.

At Oldfield Middle School, the outdoor track will be replaced, to include new fencing. In addition to other infrastructure work, two music rooms will be renovated, parking lot gates will be installed and the tennis courts will be repaired. Additional work at Thomas J. Lahey Elementary includes the addition of security fencing and parking lot gates, replacement of interior doors, the installation of new playground equipment and safety surfacing, enhancements to classrooms and the addition of an asphalt basketball area for students. At Washington Drive Primary School, work would also include the installation of additional parking, the installation of new playground equipment and safety surfacing, and the installation of parking lot security gates.


The total amount of the project is approximately $41.2 million. Of this amount, $2 million would be used from the district’s capital reserve fund. The additional money would be funded through a bond. For the average homeowner in the district, this would represent an annual cost impact of approximately $262 a year, or $21.86 a month.
