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. Property owners aged 65+ with a homestead exemption will see NO TAX RATE INCREASE. More: www.hempsteadisd.org/bond2024 #BobcatsVote
