On behalf of the Board of Education, I thank the Ithaca Public Schools’ voters for their support of the renewal of the sinking fund. Approval of the sinking fund will allow the school district to continue to update facilities, improve school security, upgrade technology, and purchase new buses and vans.
Again, I am grateful to the parents, staff, students, and other members of the community who helped us inform people about the sinking fund renewal.
Thank you for your continued support!
