Hastings Capital Bond BOE June 16
June 16, 2025
Dear Hastings Community,
With one day to go before Tuesday’s School Bond vote, the District is issuing an important update to the Bond FAQ.
In particular, the latest additions to the FAQ clear up several incorrect assumptions and assertions which have joined the conversation in the past few days, including the idea that this vote may be considered only a waypoint in a larger process of refining bond propositions, or, for example, that the proposed entryway which is part of Proposition #2 would have no effect on building accessibility.
Please take time to look through the FAQ additions linked HERE and included below. As noted within, the upcoming Tuesday bond vote will present a clear signal to the district of what priorities the community supports, so please consider your choices as truly consequential.
Additionally, a comprehensive background on the Bond can be gained by watching the Trustees 6/9 bond presentation. Please remember to vote on Tuesday, June 17th.
Thank You
Alex Dal Piaz
Silvia Robles
David Barone
