Here are details for the upcoming bond election. Voting will take place at Patrick Henry (and other polling places) on March 2nd from 7 AM – 7 PM.
The 2010 Bond will replace bonds that have been paid off; the end result will not raise property taxes. The total requested is $354, 000,000 for use within Tulsa Public Schools. Specifically, Patrick Henry will benefit from the following projects:
Facility Bond (Window Replacement, Energy Management and Security System upgrades) $513,800
Library Bond (Books, Technology/Audio Visual) $89,280
Classroom Bond (Textbooks, Physical Education Equipment, Technology, Furniture) $266,098
Grand Total for Patrick Henry $869,178
This bond is part of a 20-year commitment to Tulsa’s school children begun in 1995. Patrick Henry has already received $2,423,963.22 in bond money since the inception of the program. The bonding process will continue, and by the end of the cycle Patrick Henry will receive additional funds, including the construction of classrooms to enlarge our student capacity.
As a public school employee I cannot advocate for or against the bond, but I can provide facts on the election and encourage every voter to exercise the right to vote. Please contact me should you have any other questions about the upcoming bond election.
Thanks,
Daniel F. DePalma

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. A good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
