Moorestown NJ BOE Referendum Q&A 1-23-25

The Moorestown NJ Board of Education held a community Q&A session on January 23, 2025, to provide an update on the planned capital bond referendum focused on school facility improvements and expansions. The discussion centered on proposed projects including an addition to the middle school (WHAMS) to accommodate sixth grade, reconfigurations of elementary schools to address overcrowding, and infrastructure upgrades such as HVAC and playground improvements. A significant topic was the relocation of the bus depot from the high school campus to another site, with community concerns prompting the board to delay the referendum vote from March to at earliest September 2025 to allow further review and state funding confirmation. The board emphasized ongoing efforts to maximize state reimbursement for eligible projects and committed to transparent communication about tax impacts and detailed project costs once finalized. Community members raised questions about project details, tax implications, and information accessibility, with board members encouraging continued dialogue and feedback.
