Superintendent: Referendum work 'winding down'; district to seek summer project quotes after 2026–27 budget
Summary
At a Saddle Brook School District board meeting, the superintendent reported referendum construction and renovation work is nearly complete and said staff will solicit quotes for additional summer projects once the 2026–27 budget is approved early next month.
The Saddle Brook School District board heard a facilities update in which the superintendent said the district’s referendum projects are "winding down," citing several near-term completions and forthcoming work. The superintendent noted a new sign had been installed, crews were painting the underside of canopies, and pavement work and a new school slide were expected "hopefully soon".
"They replaced the doors at the field house, bathrooms," the superintendent said, adding that work on Washington School’s staircase doors had just started and should finish within a few days. He said the district will begin soliciting quotes for additional projects to be completed over the summer after the board approves the 2026–27 budget early next month.
Board members praised the improvements to building entrances and campus appearance, with one member saying the front look of the buildings is completed and "it looks really nice." The board did not take a formal vote on the projects during the public portion of the meeting.
The update covered capital maintenance and aesthetic improvements tied to the referendum; specific budgets, contractor names and contract awards were not provided during the discussion and were described in the meeting as forthcoming once the new budget is approved.
