Rationale for Referendum:

An audit by our architects and engineers provided GTSD with a necessary footprint of the scope of work to sustain open doors in our district.  Both building roofs and the SMS HVAC system are unable to be safely fixed or repaired.  Safety and Security of the buildings is sub par in alignment with C.18A:7G-5.2- The  public entrance to be used during the school  day which shall be equipped with a security vestibule with interior  doors that must be released by school security or other staff. The district or development authority shall give consideration to  providing bullet resistant glazing in the interior vestibule doors and  windows.  Interior door locks on spaces that will serve as safe havens during lockdowns shall have a keyless locking mechanism.

The Bond for the Referendum is a 20 year loan that will come off of your taxes.

The time to act is now, the state has approved to pay 34% of the costs (debt service)
