Basking Ridge School District Plans $82M Maintenance Referendum
What happened
Bernards Township school officials are discussing a possible building referendum to fund major repairs across the district’s six schools. The district’s facilities plan identifies approximately $82 million in necessary work over the next 10 years, covering basic maintenance like roofs, boilers, and fire safety systems. A first vote on the proposal is planned for November 2027.

Why it matters
The proposed referendum addresses essential infrastructure needs, including 104 identified projects, and is intended to cover basic maintenance rather than new construction space. The district noted that its last referendum was held in 2005.
