Roselle Board of Education Continues Community Outreach Campaign for Bond Referendum at Bethlehem Baptist Church
Maria Torres · Union County Life
The Roselle Board of Education extended its grassroots public outreach campaign into local houses of worship, hosting an informational session at Bethlehem Baptist Church to brief residents on an upcoming school bond referendum.
District administrators and board members utilized the gathering to outline the multi-million-dollar improvement plan, detail projected tax impacts, and answer questions directly from local taxpayers. As reported by Union County Life, the outreach initiative aims to ensure maximum community participation and transparency ahead of the scheduled special election.
The proposed referendum centers on two distinct ballot questions. Question 1 focuses on constructing a new PreK-2 elementary school on Chandler Avenue to alleviate overcrowding and replace aging facilities, while Question 2 addresses district-wide security enhancements, auditorium restorations, and specialized student learning spaces.
Church congregants and neighborhood attendees engaged in discussions regarding state aid offsets, construction timelines, and long-term facility benefits. District leaders emphasized that community feedback remains vital as they continue visiting local civic organizations and neighborhood groups.
