Princeton Public Schools Facilities Bond Referendum

Preparing for growth, preserving neighborhood schools

The district developed the proposed improvements to reflect what the Princeton community values: high-quality education, robust programming and neighborhood elementary schools.  

Building renovations and additions would prepare us for projected growth from existing housing and new developments, and make our aging facilities more functional and better suited for modern educational needs. Princeton High School dates to 1928 and our newest schools were built in the 1960s. 


All taxpayers in New Jersey contribute to the revenue that helps fund school building improvements. Some of that money would flow back to Princeton if the bond referendum is approved. This debt service aid would ease the local tax impact of paying for expanded and modernized schools.

The projects are grouped into three questions. Question 2 can only pass if Question 1 passes, and Question 3 is dependent on Questions 1 and 2 passing.  

THREE QUESTIONS ARE ON THE BALLOT.

Question 1:

Community Park Elementary expansion and renovations

Princeton High School HVAC improvements

Question 2:

Princeton Middle School expansion and renovations

Princeton High School renovations

Question 3:

Littlebrook expansion and renovations

 Supporting Instructional Goals 

Expanding Programming Space

Cafeterias/Multipurpose Areas

 Projects At A Glance 

Community Park Elementary

Littlebrook Elementary

Johnson Park & Riverside

Expanding and renovating Community Park and Littlebrook would provide more elementary classrooms nearest to where new housing is being built.  This would reduce the scope of elementary redistricting and help balance enrollments across the district. If the referendum does not pass, Johnson Park and Riverside elementary schools will have increased class sizes and potential program impacts as enrollments grow district-wide.
