How the Board sets district priorities
Bridgewater-Raritan's regional Board of Education sets the district budget, approves contracts, and oversees schools. The current official meeting record shows an adopted 2026-27 budget and continuing work on referendum-funded building projects.
Budget
The Board adopted a $206.6 million total base budget and $178.3 million total tax levy for 2026-27 on April 28.
Governance
The Board holds public meetings and a January reorganization meeting; the collected reorganization agenda schedules officer elections and annual designations, but no January minutes were collected to confirm outcomes.
Building work
April and July minutes record payments for the middle-school classroom addition and the Bradley Gardens cafeteria/classroom addition.
Most meetings in this review period have an agenda but no collected minutes, so agenda items are not presented as completed Board action.
