November of 2022, in a historic show of unity, more than 80% of town voters backed the
$188 million Bond Referendum
to repair and modernize Montclair Public Schools’ long-neglected
buildings and decaying infrastructure (11 schools and the administration
building constructed more than 99 years ago on average). The Referendum
includes 25 separate construction projects across the District,
including HVAC upgrades totaling $75.7 million and nearly $27 million to
upgrade classrooms. Each of Montclair’s public schools will receive
needed improvements, with several of the oldest buildings — including
Hillside ($25.5 million), Glenfield Middle School ($24.7 million), and
Montclair High School ($48.5 million) — requiring the most extensive
repairs.
This page is dedicated to showcasing the project schedules/timelines,
project updates (construction and architecture) and Board presentations
to keep the public informed of the progress.
