The Board and District administration chose to pursue a bond referendum to:
1️⃣ Improve our schools with the advantage of more than $3.3 million in state aid. This state aid is only available through a voter-approved bond referendum.
2️⃣ Time the continued investment with a new tax starting as an older one ends.
3️⃣ See upgrades in just a few years while having the cost of the projects spread over time (similar to a home equity loan).

After community-informed planning, the Mendham Borough School District is holding a bond referendum on January 28, 2025. The two-question plan would unlock $3.39 million in state aid to fund a mix of critical repairs and upgrades to better serve our students and the community.
Over the next few months, the district and Board of Education will continue to inform the community about the proposal. More about the bond referendum is available at mendhamboro.org/vote.
