Families are urged to review handbooks and the district website before classes begin.
• Denville Issues Tax Sale Notice for Unpaid Property Charges (morrisfocus.com) — Denville is moving ahead with an online tax lien sale on October 8 for properties with unpaid 2025 and earlier taxes and municipal charges, and owners still have time to pay and avoid inclusion.
