Boces Calls
For Vote
The Nassau Board of
Cooperative Educational Ser­vices
(BOCES) will conduct a
county-wide referendum April 5
to obtain voter approval of a
$100,000 purchase of land and
buildings in Syosset.
If voters approve, the
cooperative board intends to buy
the property known as the
Northeast Area Occupational
Education Center on Cold Spring
Road, a job-training facility for
teenage boys and girls from
nearby school districts.
According to BOCES officials,
the purchase would save Nassau
County taxpayers more than
$200,000 a year-the amount the
cooperative board now pays to
rent the facility. The purchase,
the officials explained, would put
an end to the annual rental
payments.
Consisting of three buildings on
four acres of land, the Northeast
Center was built to BOCES
specifications nearly a decade
ago, and has been under lease to
the cooperative board ever since.
A clause in the original lease
provides that BOCES, in the tenth
year, can purchase the facility
outright for a final payment of
$100,000.
"This is an unusual bargain for
the taxpayers," said BOCES
Superintendent William T.
Callahan. "The purchase price is
less than a tenth of what the
property is actually worth.
"We asked an independent,
professional appraiser to look at
the property-and he valued it at
$1,150,000."
The Northeast Center enrolls
about 575 local high school
students who take occupational
education as an elective. The
students are bused to the Center
for half of each school day. They
spend the remaining half in their
home high schools taking their
academic subjects.
For purposes the April 5
referendum, BOCES officials
explained, Nassau County has
been divided into 17 voting
districts, each consisting of two
or more entire local school
districts. Each voting district will
have one polling place, which on
April 5 will be open from 10 a.m.
to 10p.m.
Anyone is eligible to vote who is
age 18 or older, an American
citizen, and a resident, for at
least 30 days, of one of the 56
component school districts of the
Nassau BOCES.
No pre-registration is required.
