Every Student, Every Day!
Official results showed that voters supported the bond referendum for Mendham Township School District! Voter approval means the district is now moving forward with a $19.9 million plan to repair and renovate the district’s two schools with enhanced safety and security features, critical maintenance, and STEM instructional spaces. State aid will cover 37 percent of the project costs; that’s money that the township’s residents contribute to the state and now will get back to improve the schools.
The Board of Education thanks all voters who made their voices heard and looks forward to taking the next important steps for Mendham Township’s future.
Mendham Township residents are proud of the high-quality, top-ranked education offered to every child. It’s why many of them call the township home. The school district plans for continuous improvement and is asking the community to vote in a bond referendum to fund building repairs and renovations, tech-centered instructional spaces, safety and security upgrades, and more.
Approved Projects
The district is in the process of creating modern instructional spaces to match the premier educational offerings that draw families to the township. A number of the renovations are designed to support student collaboration – a cornerstone of a Mendham Township education – as well as safety and security.
Both schools are getting renovated Media Centers and new Innovation Labs, updated nurse’s offices and the restrooms within them, and outdoor educational pavilions for students and township residents to enjoy. The proposal includes safety upgrades that will make entryways ADA compliant and create security vestibules, as well as critical maintenance projects such as roof replacements, parking lot repavement, and more.

A bond referendum is a vote in which the district seeks permission to borrow funds through the sale of bonds. This process gives the community a voice – and a vote – in the district’s future and is the only way for the district to tap into a specific type of state aid.
