Jan 23 Referendum Information
The April, July, and November, 2017 editions of The Link, the district's newsletter for the Lawrence community, and the September 2017 Back-to-School Bulletin included articles about an upcoming referendum the Board of Education (BOE) is bringing before Lawrence Township residents for a vote on January 23, 2018.
The estimated cost of the referendum is approximately $25 million. Business Administrator Tom Eldridge submitted the proposed projects and projected costs, supplied by our architects, to the New Jersey Department of Education, to learn how much of the cost will be paid by the state. The feedback we received is that all projects are eligible for partial state funding. Thus, the state of New Jersey will pay 40% of the costs of the referendum.
Referendum projects include:
- air conditioning classrooms and some other spaces not already air conditioned;
- life safety & security system upgrades at all schools and district buildings including telephone, public address, intrusion alarm and access control systems;
- boiler and heating system replacement at Lawrence Middle School (LMS) and Lawrence High School;
- elevator construction and related work at LMS (to provide accessibility to all parts of the school for those persons on crutches, in a wheelchair, or who have a disability); and
- security vestibule construction at Slackwood School, Eldridge Park School, Lawrence Intermediate School, and LMS.
