Referendum Rejected

October 2, 2018

Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, and Staff, The Rutherford community has voted to reject the proposed $53M referendum to improve our school facilities. While this is a disappointing result, we still need to provide adequate space for our growing enrollment and create environments to support our students academically. We will examine our plan to determine if there is a less encompassing alternative that could still give us more classroom space and make the district compliant with federal and state mandates, even if it does not fulfill all of our needs. Thank you to all of the voters who became informed and supported the proposal. Sincerely, Jack Hurley, Superintendent of Schools … [Read More...] about Referendum Rejected

District-Wide Kitchen

September 28, 2018

Problem: There is not a working kitchen in the district. In the high school, students need to leave campus or purchase lunch from a small pantry if they decide to stay in the building. In other schools throughout the district, food is prepared off site and then needs to be delivered to all schools throughout the district. This limits food choices to foods that can be delivered early and stay warm in a delivery container. Solution: Investing in the “Our Kids, Our Vision, Our Future” referendum will add a district working kitchen to the new cafeteria at the high school. Higher quality food choices will be provided to high school students and lunches will be prepared in district for our middle and elementary schools. This district kitchen will also be incorporated into the Rutherford … [Read More...] about District-Wide Kitchen
