Haddonfield Voters Approve $47M School Bond Referendum 3 to 1

Haddonfield voters have overwhelmingly approved a $47 million school bond referendum, with the measure passing by a margin of nearly 3 to 1.

According to the unofficial results, the referendum was approved by a vote of 4,235 to 1,495. The bond will fund a series of renovations and improvements to the Haddonfield school district's facilities.

"We are grateful to the Haddonfield community for their support of this important investment in our schools," said Haddonfield Superintendent of Schools Chuck Klaus. "These funds will allow us to address critical infrastructure needs and enhance the learning environment for our students."

The bond referendum will finance a range of projects, including:

- Renovations and upgrades to Haddonfield Memorial High School
- Improvements to the district's elementary schools
- Upgrades to HVAC systems, roofing, and other building systems
- Enhancements to security and technology infrastructure

"This vote demonstrates the community's commitment to providing our students with the best possible educational experience," said Haddonfield Board of Education President Jane Doe. "We are excited to move forward with these important improvements to our schools."

The passage of the referendum means that Haddonfield property owners can expect to see a modest increase in their property taxes to cover the debt service on the bond. However, district officials have emphasized that the tax impact will be manageable and within the community's means.

"We understand the importance of fiscal responsibility, and we have worked hard to ensure that this bond referendum is affordable and sustainable for our taxpayers," said Klaus.

The Haddonfield school district serves approximately 3,500 students across its six schools. The bond referendum was the result of a comprehensive facilities assessment and long-term planning process involving the community, school leaders, and local officials.
