Since 2022, over 10 Morris County schools have passed successful referendums. Every NJ taxpayer pays toward school improvements, but only districts that have voter approval can take advantage of that funding to make investments in their schools.

Other local school districts (West Morris Regional, Mendham Township, Washington Township) have taken advantage of these tax dollars to make improvements; we want to ensure that Mendham Borough gets its fair share, too - WHICH IS MORE THAN $3.3 MILLION!

Here in Mendham Borough, community input gathered through the Strategic Planning process guided us toward the same path of asking voters to consider investing in our PreK-8 schools on Jan. 28.
