Pearl River School District

Building a Stronger Foundation for the Future

On May 19, residents of the Pearl River School District will be asked to consider a $61.4 million bond to fund comprehensive renovations to essential infrastructure in all school buildings. The proposed project scope addresses critical needs identified in the district’s most recent NYSED Building Conditions Survey and priorities voiced by families, students and staff in our Capital Project Community Survey.

A stronger foundation for student success starts with healthy, safe and comfortable learning environments. Please vote on May 19th.
