The Scarsdale Public Schools has embarked on a planning process for a potential bond referendum in 2026. The opporutnity exisits for about $40 million of projects at a tax neutral level due to debt service falling off in the 2027-2028 school year. Thus, the District has engaged with BBS Architects and Arris Contracting Company to develop a long range capital plan. A Capital Projects Steering Commitee (CPSC) formed in March, 2025, to work toward a recommendation to the Board of Education of a scope of work consistent with the Strategic Plan.

Key Developments

  • 9-15-25 – Captial Projects Steering Committee Presentation – Representatives from the CPSC, BBS Architects and Engineers, and Administration presented an initial proposed scope of work to the Board for a potential bond referendum in spring, 2026. The proposed scope including work on Building Conditions/Infracture, Air Conditioning, Field Improvements, and New Construction/Renovation projects totalling $95.6 million. Discussion will continue over the coming months about this work scope, with opportunities for community input forthcoming.
