Moving Forward Together: An Update from the Superintendent
Thank you to all of the residents who participated in the March 10 special election regarding the district’s public question. While the measure did not pass, we are grateful to everyone who took the time to learn about the proposal, attend information sessions, ask questions, and make their voices heard through the voting process.
The outcome of the vote highlights the importance of community voice and participation in decisions that affect our schools. Although the result was not what we had hoped for, our commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for our students remains unchanged.
In the weeks ahead, the district will continue to reflect on the feedback we received throughout this process as we navigate our next steps. We remain committed to working collaboratively with our Board of Education, staff, families, and community members to support our students and plan responsibly for the future of our district.
Thank you for your continued support of Robbinsville Public Schools and for your partnership in the education of our students.
Sincerely,
Patrick Pizzo, Ed.D.
Superintendent
