Should the school board election be pushed from April to the general election in November?
The Morris School District has scheduled a special meeting on Feb. 6 to discuss the option. It’s set for 7 pm at the Lafayette Learning Center, according to a district spokesperson.
Under a bill signed by Gov. Christie earlier this month, school elections moved to November would NOT include a public vote on the school budget if the budget falls within the state’s 2 percent cap on tax increases.
Districts can move school elections to November by a resolution of the school board, or by seeking public approval, according to The Star-Ledger.
