Meeting Instructional and Budget Needs

 Bond Referendum Planned for 2025

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE

West Deptford School District has a proud history of providing quality education, and of fostering a supportive and enriching environment for all our students. Our aging infrastructure needs significant improvements to continue to support these high standards.

The Board of Education has been diligently working to develop a bond proposal to meet WD's needs for modern instruction and budget efficiencies. WD is working through the state-required planning and approval process with plans to ask the public to vote on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

A bond referendum is a vote that asks permission to borrow money through the sale of bonds. That method of funding would bring the advantage of state aid to cover a significant share of the costs. This funding is not available through our general operating budget.

UPGRADES UNDER CONSIDERATION: 

BOND FUNDING BRINGS STATE AID

And those aren't the only reasons ...

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?

The Board of Education and administration completed significant research in the past year. There were opportunities for community input as the board determined what could be proposed in an upcoming bond referendum.

That would kick off a more robust plan for community engagement as residents learn about the proposal before voting.
