Princeton superintendent urges residents to review referendum, lists open houses and vote date
Summary
Superintendent Patrick Vyne outlined a school facilities referendum set for Nov. 4, announced open houses on Sept. 24 and Oct. 2 with experts available, and said high school classrooms do not meet industry standards — the rationale for asking voters to approve facility changes.
Patrick Vyne, superintendent of the Princeton Public School District, asked residents to review materials and attend presentations ahead of a referendum on school facilities set for Nov. 4.
Vyne said early voting is available and directed residents to the district website and public presentations for details. He listed two open houses for the proposal: Sept. 24 at the District Center from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Oct. 2 in the evening at the high school.
“...our current classrooms at the high school do not meet industry standards,” Vyne said, presenting that facilities lag the curriculum designed to prepare students for the workforce as the central rationale for the referendum.
Vyne said the same experts who prepared the presentation will be at the open houses to answer questions and show voters exactly what they will be voting on. He urged residents to “find a time to vote either early or at the election made on November 4.”
The superintendent framed the referendum as a decision about aligning facilities with educational programs; he did not provide cost figures, specific project plans, or proposed changes in the remarks and directed the public to the district website and scheduled events for more information.
