Princeton University’s gift to the Board of Education is part of a $78.2 million building program to be considered by voters in April. The University’s contribution will help convert the high school auditorium into the main reading room for an expanded and modernized library.
If approved by voters, the referendum will fund renovations and additions to all six district schools.
Since June 2000, the University has committed nearly $1.7 million to community institutions.
