Summary
District leaders told the board they have held informational sessions, recorded a referendum town hall, and are using a website, social media, newsletters and lawn signs to encourage turnout for the March 10 referendum; the board emphasized outreach and urged voters to attend upcoming meetings.
District administrators and board members used their report to remind the Mahwah Township Public School District community about an upcoming referendum vote and the district’s outreach efforts.
Speakers said the district has held multiple informational sessions and a virtual town hall (which was recorded and will be posted on the district website), produced brochures and lawn signs, and is running social media and newsletter campaigns to inform voters about the proposed referendum. The board stressed the importance of turnout for the March 10 vote and asked members and the community to encourage neighbors to review materials and participate.
Administrators described other district communications and community engagement tools: a comprehensive web presentation, in-person information sessions, emails, and distribution of printed materials. Board members noted the referendum’s relationship to facilities improvements and said while the referendum would fund buildings and new programs it would not eliminate ongoing operating costs that maintain day-to-day services.
The administration also highlighted upcoming opportunities for community engagement, including a Feb. 24 event for sophomores and juniors to learn about internships and externships and a March schedule change to allow the board to submit the preliminary 2026–27 budget to the county on time. The board asked members to continue outreach to their networks and to encourage voter participation.
