Union Township joins North Hunterdon–Voorhees regionalization study and will seek SREP grant
Summary
The board voted to join a regional study with North Hunterdon–Voorhees and authorized that district to submit a School Regionalization Efficiency Program (SREP) grant application to the NJ Division of Local Government Services to fund a feasibility study of consolidation/regionalization.
The Union Township Board of Education voted on June 9 to join North Hunterdon–Voorhees in pursuing a formal study of regionalization and potential district consolidation. The board approved a consent resolution authorizing North Hunterdon–Voorhees to lead and submit a School Regionalization Efficiency Program (SREP) grant application on behalf of participating districts.
The resolution cites the Division of Local Government Services administration of the SREP grant and frames the study as a means to evaluate whether consolidation could yield educational or operational efficiencies. The board noted that the study will develop an implementation plan if regionalization is deemed feasible and that North Hunterdon–Voorhees will act as the lead applicant.
Board members approved the motion as part of Other Business on a consent vote. The board did not adopt any decision about structure or timetable for consolidation at this meeting; the action authorizes only participation in and application for grant funding to support a feasibility study.
