Vote This Tuesday 3/11!

School Referendum March 11

We are about two weeks away from the school referendum on March 11! This important vote includes projects that would increase safety and security and improve health and efficiency at every one of our schools.

 

Voter approval would unlock $45 million in state funding to offset the amount required from taxpayers. Residents would see an increase of approximately $37 per month in school debt tax for a home assessed at the Freehold Township average of $611,704. The investment would begin appearing on tax bills in July 2026 and be spread over 20 years.
