45% of our property taxes go to our Washington Township schools—approx. $100 million/year!

80% of Washington Township residents do not have children in Washington Township Schools

A 2005 $50 million Bond Compromise Agreement was accepted—and broken by the Board in 2006.

A potential $185 million construction bond issue is awaiting the next Board.
