Members of the Rockaway Twp. Community:
The article in today’s Daily Record indicates that the Rockaway Twp. School District will be holding a referendum vote on March 11, 2025. The statement (https://5il.co/33u9h) issued on December 20, 2024, explains that the date of the referendum has been postponed: "Given the current uncertainty, we are exploring the option of an alternative referendum date, later than March 2025. The roadblocks created by the NJDEP, coupled with the limited options for suitable in-district properties, make it increasingly difficult to meet the urgent needs of our students and families.” I apologize for the misinformation and the confusion caused by the article. Please continue to check our website for the most up-to-date information regarding the referendum. Dr. Corbett
