This was followed in 2006, when $4.1 million was added to capital expenditures by Roslyn voters, using funds recovered from the many legal cases against the guilty members of the embezzlement case.

The money allocated in each of these capital programs went to fixing and renovating the roofs, building façades, plumbing, fields, and blacktops, in addition to upgrades to playgrounds, technology, and the safety and security systems.
