GLEN RIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
INTRODUCTION
After nearly a year of study and discussion, the Board of Education has decided to
launch major capital improvement projects at Forest Avenue School and Linden
Avenue School. These projects are designed to provide our educators with the
additional space and flexibility necessary to meet the evolving educational needs of
our youngest students. Through prudent management of the district’s resources,
we have a one-time opportunity to make these improvements without incurring
debt.
We could not undertake this initiative without the help and support of the
community. We look forward to working and communicating with staff, parents and
neighbors as we move forward.
