The referendum, which involves the construction of a new school in Fanwood and the expansion of HVAC and fire alarm systems, was a focal point of discussion. It also raised issues about redistricting and the potential need for 30% of elementary students to change schools. Safety within the district was highlighted through an instructional update on State Testing reporting systems, which detailed instances of violence, vandalism, and bullying from September to December 2023. The board also approved a report on efforts to maintain a safe school environment, with training, programs, and targeted interventions. Community engagement during the meeting revealed concerns over possible anti-Semitism in the district, a teacher’s alleged imposition of personal beliefs, and queries about the proposed school’s safety due to its location and the lack of sidewalks.
