Hello to Our Farmingdale Family. This is Paul Defendini, Superintendent of Schools, and today is January 15, 2025.
Our team at Farmingdale Schools sincerely thanks the Daler community for its continued support. Thanks to you, Proposition #1 was approved in last week’s bond vote and that permits us to begin essential roof renovations. We are grateful for your support, and we will continue to work diligently to reward your confidence in the goals that we have set for the District.
The planning phase for this work is already underway, and we will keep you updated on our progress in the coming months. This project also brings an exciting opportunity to complete the final solar initiative that is needed for the district to achieve energy independence. We have long aspired to remove our schools from the electric grid, and thanks to your support of Proposition #1, this dream will be realized.
We fully accept and respect our community’s decision on Proposition #2 and the related plans that were devised for our Fine and Performing Arts Programs and our Career and Technical Education Program. We will thoughtfully reflect on the insights gained over the past several months as we determine our next steps.
Thank you once again for your support, Farmingdale. Stay warm during this cold winter stretch. We look forward to seeing you around town.
