Waterford Township Want To
Send All Students To Hammonton

The Waterford Township Board of Education wants to send all of its students to Hammonton and wants Hammonton to consider a regional district between the two municipalities.  If the new regional district is approved, Waterford's K-6th Grade students would join the 7th to 12th grades in Hammonton.  The new district would also create a BOE with voting members from both towns.  Hammonton BOE members indicated they were not interested in forming a regional district.

Waterford Township was previously in a regional district, the Lower Camden County Regional High School District No. 1, and set its 7-12 graders to Edgewood High School, now Winslow High School.  When the district was dissolved, Waterford decided not to send it students to Winslow and signed a ten year agreement with Hammonton.
