James Monroe Elementary School to be rebuilt
A plan to rebuild an elementary school in Edison has won the approval of residents of New Jersey in a local vote.
The James Monroe Elementary School (JMES) was destroyed in a fire during March 2014. Plans to get the reconstruction of JMES underway via a bond secured a majority of the votes at a recent meeting.
The Office of the Edison Clerk has revealed that more than 2,000 people voted in favor of the financial proposal, while just over 1,200 individuals disagreed with the initiative. If those behind the policy want to promote their ideas further, they could use a printing company in Wall Township.
Richard O’Malley, a superintendent of local schools, made a statement by email saying:
The bond in question is worth about $18m. The New Jersey Insurance Group should give the project in the region of $9m, and the total cost of the reconstruction is likely to be about $28 million.
The hope is that the school can open within two years. The bond initiative could cost local taxpayers money, with an estimated that the average resident might have to come up with about $20 a year as a consequence of the move.
