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 3,921 to 1,375. 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 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 is a significant victory for our community and our schools," said Haddonfield Board of Education President Jane Doe. "The passage of this referendum demonstrates the community's commitment to providing our students with the best possible educational facilities and resources."

The bond will be repaid over a 20-year period through an increase in property taxes. The estimated annual cost for the average Haddonfield homeowner is expected to be around $300.

"We know that investing in our schools is an investment in the future of our community," said Haddonfield resident and parent Sarah Smith. "This bond will ensure that our children have access to modern, well-equipped facilities that support their learning and growth."

The Haddonfield school district serves approximately 3,000 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance and commitment to providing a well-rounded education.
