Caldwell-West Caldwell School Board Approves Bond Referendum for March Vote

The Caldwell-West Caldwell School Board held its annual reorganization meeting on January 6, 2025, where it finalized critical decisions including the approval of a bond referendum to be presented to voters in March. The bond, split into two questions, addresses infrastructure and educational enhancements across the district.

The most significant item on the agenda was the approval of a bond referendum, set to be voted on by the public on March 11. The referendum consists of two questions: the first covers district-wide infrastructure improvements, renovations at James Caldwell High School, and the creation of STEAM labs in four elementary schools. The second question proposes the demolition and replacement of the existing fieldhouse. The board emphasized transparency in the process.

In other proceedings, Julianne Grosso was elected as the new president of the school board, while Chris D’Ambola was elected vice president. Their appointments were unanimously supported by the present board members.

Additionally, the board appointed chairpersons for various committees, including Curriculum and Technology, Finance and Facilities, and Policy. These appointments aim to streamline the board’s governance and focus on specific operational areas throughout the year.
