The bond proposal includes an auxiliary gym for Hempstead Middle School. The campus has one gym, shared during the school day with physical education students, pre-athletics, and athletics class periods. This causes both girls and boys to share the gym during school, practices, and on game days. The addition of the auxiliary gym would help alleviate scheduling and class use issues by providing more space for physical education classes, athletic class periods, and athletic games ensuring a smoother and more efficient operation of school programs. Early Voting is April 22-30 and Election Day is May 4. Voting locations can be found under Voting at hempsteadisd.org/bond2024. #BobcatsVote
The proposed bond includes a new concession stand and restroom at the baseball fields. The new concession stand and restrooms would bring both buildings up to modern standards. Early Voting is April 22-30 and Election Day is May 4. Voting locations can be found under Voting at hempsteadisd.org/bond2024. #BobcatsVote
Safety & Security! The proposed bond includes:
📌Enclosed security connectors (corridors): to The Bobcat Den (Cafeteria/Band Hall) to Hempstead Middle School and between all four buildings at Hempstead Elementary School
📌New Cafeteria and Band Hall at Hempstead High School
Things to Note:
- The current Bobcat Den, built in 1997, sits between the middle school and high school campuses.
- It serves as a cafeteria and band hall for both Hempstead Middle School and Hempstead High School students.
- HMS students have to eat lunch at 10:20 a.m. to accommodate both campuses for lunch. The last lunch at HHS ends at 1:35 p.m.
- The addition of the cafeteria at the High School would allow a regular lunch schedule for all secondary students at the middle and high school.
📌Connecting The Bobcat Den to HMS, building a cafeteria and band hall at the high school, and enclosing all four buildings at the elementary school would help enhance student safety and limit exposure to inclement weather conditions.
Early Voting is April 22-30 and Election Day is May 4. Voting locations can be found under Voting at hempsteadisd.org/bond2024. #BobcatsVote
Bobcat Bond Fact Friday: Your Money Matters!
Voter approval of the 2024 bond would result in a .1378-cent increase to the district tax rate. The estimated impact would be $15.57 per month for a home valued at $235,557, the average home valuation in Hempstead ISD.
