Serious space challenges and infrastructure needs face the Cedar Grove School District. A referendum is being considered for the winter or spring of 2026 on one of two school improvement plans under development.

To obtain feedback on the plans, a series of focus groups will be held in July and August. The initiative is a very structured way to listen to the community and discuss the options being considered.

About 100 residents are needed. If the sessions are overcapacity or you cannot attend because of scheduling difficulty, other options will be provided to elicit your feedback. Attendees will be randomly chosen.

The focus groups will be recorded for internal use only and will be strictly confidential. (You will remain anonymous.) An executive summary will be presented to the board of education this fall.

Each session will last 45 minutes.
