Improving Safety, Security, Equity and Access 

To maximize instruction, our students need environments that are conducive to learning. Roofs that leak into classrooms, learning spaces that are too hot or too cold, or classrooms humming with the sound of dehumidifiers are not conducive to learning. Our students – your children – deserve better. 

All schools in the Bordentown Regional School District would benefit from renovations proposed in the bond referendum that would help improve learning conditions, access and equity for students with disabilities, and safety and security districtwide. 

In selecting projects to include in the bond referendum, the district focused on projects that address the most pressing needs and qualify for the maximum amount of state aid to help offset the cost to taxpayers.

  • Replace heating, air conditioning and temperature control systems at all schools.

HVAC, Roofs, Electrical Upgrades...

The Bordentown bond referendum would provide basic needs: roofs that don’t leak into classrooms, reliable heating and cooling, functional plumbing, and modern safety and security systems.

Upgrading heating and air conditioning systems throughout the district accounts for the largest share of the project costs, followed by roof replacements and electrical improvements. This chart breaks down the total $86.1 million project costs.
