The Dec. 12 bond referendum places an important decision in the hands of voters. The ballot will address key improvements of adding space to our elementary schools and ensuring our buildings are efficient, up to date and secure.

Registered voters in Montville Township can vote in-person or vote-by-mail to cast a ballot in this special election. 

Voters will see two questions on the ballot.

Question 1 focuses on additional space including new construction of 23 classrooms and dividing 14 classrooms to make 28 rooms that are right-sized for small-group instruction. For Hilldale, William Mason and Woodmont, Question 1 proposes new construction of flexible, large-group instructional areas. Also included are parking areas at William Mason and Woodmont. For details, see the Projects and Funding pages.

Question 2 projects would strengthen our schools with stepped-up security measures, including two-stage entrances at the five buildings that don’t have them now. It would make our schools more efficient with modernized HVAC systems. For details, see the Projects and Funding pages.

Question 1 must pass for Question 2 to pass. If voters reject Question 1 but approve Question 2, neither proposal would pass.
