Roselle Board of Education Continues Community Outreach Campaign for Bond Referendum at Bethlehem Baptist Church

The Roselle Board of Education is expanding its outreach campaign to inform residents about an upcoming school funding vote on September 15. Superintendent Nathan L. Fisher and board representatives recently visited Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church during a community event to discuss the proposal with attendees.

The upcoming referendum asks voters to approve a nearly 80 million dollar proposal. Union County Life found that the funds would construct a new school building on Chandler Avenue and finance infrastructure upgrades across the district. Reverend Jeffrey Bryan invited the school officials to speak directly with families, seniors, and long-term borough residents at the gathering.

District leadership has hosted multiple information sessions across the municipality since the board approved the referendum. Dr. Fisher stated that the board aims to maintain transparency and ensure residents understand the costs and long-term implications of the proposal. He emphasized that the role of school officials is to share information rather than persuade voters, allowing community members to ask questions before casting their ballots on September 15.
