Thank you to everyone in the Montauk community who participated in the proposed school renovation bond vote. While the outcome was not what we had hoped for, we respect the decision of the voters and remain deeply committed to the needs of our students, staff, and school community. I want to express my sincere appreciation to our Board of Education, PTA, staff, community leaders, the team at BBS Architects, and all those who devoted time and energy to this proposal. Your work sparked important conversations about the future of our school. Though this bond proposal did not pass, our commitment to Montauk’s children has not changed. We will continue to evaluate our school’s needs and work collaboratively to explore next steps. Thank you again for your engagement, your feedback, and your dedication to our students. — Joshua Odom, Superintendent and Principal, Montauk Public School
