Montclair schools are back in the spotlight. After our first deep dive into the state of the district went hyper-local viral, we’re continuing the conversation with new updates, expert insights, and community reactions. In this episode, we unpack the latest poll results from Montclair parents on their biggest school concerns, break down how the $188 million bond referendum is being allocated, and examine the ongoing debate over Chromebooks in the classroom. We also take a closer look at school security disparities, discuss the fallout from a recent teacher arrest at Northeast Elementary, and try to make sense of Montclair’s school calendar chaos—could classes really stretch into July?
