Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs' complaint, holding that the school board may expend public funds to present factual information about a bond proposal but may not use those funds to advocate a particular side, and that the planning board submission requirement does not precede the referendum. The court also noted that the plaintiffs' claims regarding the booklet and radio broadcast were moot.
