How Morris School District's Referendum Could Affect Taxpayers

Morris School District is heading to voters on Sept. 15 for its first bond referendum in nearly 30 years, asking residents to approve $158.4 million in improvements across all 10 schools, with $46.4 million covered by state aid. If it passes, the typical Morristown homeowner would pay about $38 more per month in taxes, while Morris Township residents would see roughly $41 added to their bills. Projects range from new roofs, windows, and HVAC systems to cafeteria expansions and classroom additions at Frelinghuysen Middle School and Sussex Avenue School.
