Election Day 2019: Everything Ramsey Needs To Know

RAMSEY, NJ — Election Day 2019 is here. Tuesday, Ramsey residents have a chance to further shape the education of future generations by voting for or against a referendum related to bringing full-day kindergarten to the borough.

School officials plan on having full-day kindergarten in the fall of 2020.

Voters will consider an estimated annual $99 tax increase for the average homeowner that would cover the operating costs. The average home is valued at $523,000.

To bring full-day kindergarten to Ramsey, two elementary schools, Tisdale and Hubbard, must be renovated. Visitor vestibules at Tisdale, Hubbard, Dater, and Smith schools will be installed. Video cameras linked to the local police will go in every school. Door locks will be upgraded and safety film applied to every first floor window and door.
