Once again, the Lacey Township School District is trying to reach into the taxpayers pockets and wallets.
Another referendum, $28,873,500. for various roof repairs has been approved by resolution on July 17, 2025. They have not bothered to publish it on their website. ZERO transparency!

Please do not buy into the hype that this is going to occur at NO COST to the taxpayer. You already PAID. Our property taxes were raised 10% two years in a row and the board can raise it again.
DO NOT allow this referendum to be approved on November 4th. Let them use the money they already have. Tell the Board loud and clear No More Money.

While it is true, they have paid off a debt and just want to swap it for new debt, the fact that they raised taxes 20% in two years spells fiscal irresponsibility.
Just say no to more taxes on Nov 4th. Thank you!
UPDATE: Aug 20th- from new Lacey Patch article in case you missed it.
Our high school has hit rock bottom-
Lacey Township High School ranks 300th within New Jersey. Schools are given a zero to 100 score based on the six indicators. Lacey's was 42.07, according to U.S. News.
