Squabbles Moved to Legislature Over Borough School District
Two bills before the legislature center on Fanwood borough and Scotch Plains township in New Jersey. One seeks creation of a new school district separate from Fanwood, while the other proposes transferring Fanwood from Fanwood township to Scotch Plains. The dispute follows Fanwood’s split from Pan Wood township decades ago, with residents opposing naming Fanwood in any new action and urging a separate district. The push includes a $350,000 appropriation for a new school in the town, contested by Panwood residents who prefer placement in Panwood. The issue has already been reviewed by state authorities and Trenton, with a township-favoring outcome.
