Public Question 2026
The Ballot Question
The Robbinsville Board of Education is holding a special election under N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-12.1 seeking voter approval for the following question. This question was approved by the Robbinsville Board of Education during a special meeting held on January 5, 2026.
The Robbinsville Township Board of Education is asking voters to approve an additional $5,031,476 in local school funding to maintain class sizes, protect academic programs, and preserve student enrichment opportunities.
Approval of this question would allow the District to:
- Prevent class size increases by maintaining up to 22 teachers and staff who would otherwise be eliminated
- Maintain student activities, including athletic teams and student clubs, and preserve elective courses that support well-rounded learning
Due to reductions in State aid and rising fixed costs and inflation, the District can no longer maintain current educational programs, class sizes, and extracurricular offerings without additional local support.
Approval of these taxes would result in a permanent increase in the District’s tax levy. The proposed additional expenditures are in addition to those necessary to achieve the minimum requirements for the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The Robbinsville Township Board of Education seeks community support to maintain current programming and opportunities and not to be measured against the minimum.

Community Information Sessions
To provide clear information and opportunities for questions and feedback, Robbinsville Public Schools administrators will host a series of community information sessions and community connection discussions throughout January and February. District administrators will be present at all sessions to share information and hear directly from community members. Sessions will be offered at various times and at all three school buildings to ensure multiple opporutities for participation.
Please find the schedules for each series below. We encourage all community members to attend a session, learn more, and participate in this important conversation.
For the Community Connection sessions, we are asking for residents to complete an RSVP form so front offices can prepare for visitors. Please complete this form to register your attendance for any session.
These sessions will be held on Tuesday evenings (excluding regularly scheduled Board of Education meetings). Each session will include a brief overview presentation of the public question followed by time for community questions and discussion. Residents will have the opportunity to speak directly to district administrators and have their questions answered.
To encourage open, respectful, and meaningful dialogue, all sessions will be held in person only and will not be livestreamed.
