Hopewell Valley superintendent lays out two-question referendum to fix aging buildings and add classrooms
Summary
The Hopewell Valley Regional School District plans to place two referendum questions on the Nov. 4 ballot: one to fix critical building systems and another to add classrooms to address enrollment growth, Superintendent Dr. Treece told the board.
The Hopewell Valley Regional School District plans to put two referendum questions before voters on Nov. 4, Superintendent Dr. Treece told the board, saying the first question would fund critical building integrity and infrastructure repairs and the second would pay for school additions to address enrollment growth.
The referendum "will be on November 4th," Dr. Treece said, and she described Question 1 as targeted to repairs such as HVAC, door and structural work and wells at Timberlane and Bear Tavern that, if left unaddressed, "would cause a catastrophic failure" and risk disrupting school operations. She told the board that state matching funds could cover up to 40% of eligible projects and noted that "we have to bond out the whole amount first and then they will give us 20 million back."
