CHATHAM, NJ - The Chatham Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the adoption of the Strauss Esmay Policies and Regulations Manual during its meeting on Monday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. The session will take place in the Chatham High School library, where board members will review the proposed updates that were first introduced at the July 13 meeting.

The policy manual covers a wide range of operational and administrative guidelines that govern the district. Adoption would mark the culmination of months of review and discussion among board members and district officials. Residents who wish to speak on the matter will have an opportunity to comment before the vote.

In addition to the policy manual, the board will receive an update on the proposed $54 million referendum. The referendum plan has been a major topic of discussion in the community, with questions surrounding the scope of projects and the potential tax impact on residents. District officials are expected to outline the current status of planning efforts and the timeline for any future public votes.

The meeting is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to attend to stay informed on both the policy changes and the referendum progress.
