TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Voters in four new Jersey districts
have approved bond issues totaling more than $50 million for school
construction projects.
Only one district rejected a bond issue in elections
Tuesday. That was in Garfield, where the school board wanted voters to spend $5
million to upgrade the district's athletic complex.
Unlike the other four, it was not eligible for a state
subsidy.
The districts where spending was approved were Weymouth
Township, Rochelle Park, Secaucus and Point Pleasant.
The New Jersey School Boards Association says that statewide
in 2013, 18 of 24 school bond issues were approved by local voters. In 2012, 11
of 20 were approved.
