Greenwich Board of Education Public Question #1: Regarding the Music and Arts Programs.
Question 1: The Greenwich Township Board of Education is asking to raise an additional $200,000 in tax levy funds in order to restore the music and arts programs at The Greenwich Elementary School and The Stewartsville Middle School. This $200,000.00 will cover the costs for one music teacher and one art teacher with benefits to support our music and art programs.
Interpretive Statement: A vote ‘Yes’, authorizes the governing body’s action. A vote ‘No’, rejects it.

Greenwich Board of Education Public Question #2: Regarding the Basic Skills Instruction Model.
Question 2: The Greenwich Township Board of Education is asking to raise an additional $300.000 in tax levy funds in order to restore the Basic Skills Instruction Model which is essential in helping students with academic gaps receive much needed enrichment.
Interpretive Statement: A vote ‘Yes’, authorizes the governing body’s action. A vote ‘No’, rejects it.
The cost of voting NO is much greater. NO Music. NO Art, NO additional teachers to bridge the learning gaps most students are facing after the Covid-19 interruption. NO way for students to catch up.
