WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey. October 17, 2006: White Plains voters apparently have approved an $69.6 Million referendum (the richest one-time investment ever considered by the school district or the city),  to upgrade school infrastructures, build a new Post Road School, make additions to Mamaroneck Avenue School, and create two artifical turf stadiums at Parker Stadium and Loucks Field today.

The vote was 1,032 for and 926 against, including absentee ballots. Affidavit ballots which number less than the 106 votes winning margin remain to be counted. The Board of Education will meet Wednesday evening to ratify the result.

Five out of six School Districts carried the Referendum.
