The Princeton Public Schools will offer a presentation about the upcoming bond referendum questions followed by a Q&A.
The municipality of Princeton will see over 1,000 new residential units in the next few years, and the school district will soon be welcoming new students into the schools. The PPS facilities need immediate expansion and improvements to continue to provide high-quality programming, maintain elementary class sizes and honor our tradition of neighborhood schools.
We invite you to learn more about the Jan. 28 facilities bond referendum, which prioritizes cost-effective, value-based facility improvements. The referendum allows PPS to access $19.9 million in state debt service funding. It will appear on the Jan. ballot in the form of three questions:
QUESTION 1
Community Park Elementary expansion/renovations
Princeton High School end-of-life HVAC replacement and rehabilitation
Cost: $37.9M
Est. annual tax impact**: $222

The district has taken into careful consideration the needs of the students, their families and the Princeton community in planning for this referendum. This is a fiscally responsible plan that will expand capacity, renovate common areas and outdated facilities, and allow the district to continue the exceptional education and student experiences at Princeton Public Schools.
