Voters pass school referenda in Boonton Township, Mount Olive

Voters in two Morris County towns approved school referenda on election day that add up to more than $90 million, providing funds for needed building expansions, repairs, infrastructure improvements and other projects. Boonton Township residents, who voted down a $15 million referendum in 2024 , passed this year's $28.5 million referendum 978-770. The referendum in the single-school, K-8 district (high school students attend Mountain Lakes high) calls for funding repairs, upgrades and an addition to Rockaway Valley School, where district officials list a lack of space and aging infrastructure among issues that must be addressed and could "shape our school for years to come." The failed referendum in 2024 did not include a building addition. District officials posted on their website after the vote to thank "the Boonton Township community for learning about the referendum and taking time to vote." A larger $62 million referendum on the Mount Olive ballot was approved 7,504-2,187. Much of the money will go toward infrastructure expansions and upgrades to the high school, middle school and four elementary schools, including new HVAC systems for all schools and replacement roofs for most. District officials, posting after the vote, anticipate construction to begin next summer. "We appreciate

Wayne Council Cuts Ratzer Road Project to 46 Homes From Earlier 71-Unit Plan

933–965 Ratzer Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed 46-Home Zone. Wayne Township's governing body voted 7–2 to introduce an ordinance creating an overlay zone that would allow up to 46 homes on a long-contested Ratzer Road property, with two council members, Al Sadowski and Joseph Scuralli, casting the dissenting votes. The move scales back a far denser concept that had been on the table for the site, and it comes with strings attached: any homes actually built would need to meet a 20% affordable-housing requirement, and the project still faces Planning Board review before a shovel goes into the ground.
