At last night’s Board of Commissioners Meeting, the Commissioners passed two ordinances and a resolution that approved a bond to purchase a building in Nutley. This will be leased to the Board of Education for PreSchool classrooms and Board of Education offices. 

 

In the fall of 2025, ten preschool classrooms will open at 777 Bloomfield Avenue to expand the district’s state-funded Raising Raiders PreSchool Program. The Board of Education will move its offices to the third floor of that space. Within the next two years, this purchase will assist the district in the transition of sixth grade students out of the elementary schools and into John H. Walker Middle School, making it a true 6-8 middle school. 

 

This is a joint venture between the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Education, as part of the One Nutley Partnership.  

 

While we are excited for the future of our district, this project is in the very early stages. As information becomes available, we will share it and be able to answer questions on what this looks like for our students and staff.
