Bond 2024

Hempstead ISD will hold the first in a series of community meetings at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26 to inform members of the Hempstead ISD community about the districtā€™s proposed $45.7 million bond referendum, which will appear on the May 4 ballot for Hempstead ISD voters.

ā€œI am looking forward to sharing information regarding the May bond election with our community,ā€ Hempstead ISD Superintendent, Herbert Oā€™Neil, said.  ā€œI hope that everyone who attends will walk away with a better understanding of what is on the ballot.ā€

The ballot will be divided into two propositions ā€“ A and B ā€“ which are focused on districtwide safety/security, aging facilities, and high-priority maintenance needs. It includes a replacement campus for Hempstead Early Childhood Center; enclosed connectors at Hempstead Middle School and Hempstead Elementary School; and renovations for Hempstead Middle School and Hempstead High School. 

Additional details can be found on the Hempstead ISD 2024 Bond website, hempsteadisd.org/bond2024.

During the meeting at The Bobcat Den, 2432 9th St.,  Superintendent Oā€™Neil will talk through each proposition, explaining the effects and how each proposition on the ballot will impact every campus and student across the district. He will also provide an overview of the expected tax impact for area residents. Childcare will be provided. 

All informational meetings will include a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Attendees can also submit questions before or after each meeting that will be used to further update the bond websiteā€™s Frequently Asked Questions with additional information in the weeks leading up to Election Day on May 4, 2024.
