Superintendent's Message

Dear Bellmawr Community Member,

On January 18, 2012 Governor Chris Christie signed legislation S-3148 giving communities the option of moving the annual election of school board members to November. In school districts that change the election date, the annual base budget - that is, the proposed budget if it is at or below the school district's 2 percent tax levy cap - will no longer be voted on by the taxpayers.

Under this legislation, a community is able to move the election date through any one of three means, a resolution by the board of education; a resolution by the municipal governing body; or, a public question presented to voters at the November General Election.
