POB voters reject school bond issue Voters in the Plainview Old Bethpage School District rejected a bond referendum that would have paid for capital improvements in the district. Propostion 1 was defeated with 1363 yes votes and 2513 no votes. Proposition No. 1 would have allow the District to increase instructional space by 25,000 square feet. It would have also allowed the installation of air con-
ditioning in gyms and cafeterias throughout the District, athletic field upgrades, and other infrastructure repairs. Proposition No. 2 failed with 1244 yes votes and 2585 no votes. It would have funded infrastructure improvements to the District’s Jamaica Avenue building which currently houses a variety of District and community-based programs.
