Dear Resident,
Hopefully you have heard by now that our school district has identified critical needs to maintain facilities and invest in the future of our students. Meeting these needs through annual budgets alone is not feasible and will delay necessary improvements and repairs causing our historic, beautiful building to deteriorate, impacting current and future generations. This referendum will allow the district to improve safety, security and provide necessary structural repairs. These repairs are too costly to complete through the annual operating budget and would diminish the level of academic rigor our community expects.
Holland Township School District is in a good financial position. Since we hold zero debt, now is the right time to invest in the future of our school. The State of New Jersey will pay 40% of the total project cost as Debt Service Aid.. Our community pays a large amount of income taxes to the State of New Jersey and only receives a small amount in return to support the local school district operating budget. Debt Service Aid is a way to bring that money back to our community. Please participate in this important opportunity by casting your ballot at the polls on November 4th. As always, we value your support.
