Bottle King Is Hiring Across New Jersey

Bottle King is hiring across New Jersey....

My name is Amanda Adams, and I am proud to serve as President of the Randolph Township Board of Education. I am running for re-election because I believe deeply in the importance of public education, responsible financial stewardship, and the lasting value of strong schools.
For many New Jersey homeowners, education begins with a property tax bill. We see the numbers and understandably ask whether our dollars are being spent wisely. But there is another question worth considering: What are we building together through our investment in public education?
In New Jersey, property taxes, alongside state and federal funding, support the educators, programs, services, and facilities that make public education possible.
In Randolph, the results of that investment are visible.
Of the 339 graduates in Randolph High School's Class of 2026, 92% are pursuing higher education. Students completed a record 1,018 Advanced Placement examinations, with approximately 92% earning qualifying scores. Our district has also been recognized as one of the Best Communities for Music Education for 19 consecutive years.
But the value of education extends beyond academic statistics.
Our children experience school as a place where friendships are formed, confidence develops, talents emerge, and possibilities expand. Through specialized education, Unified programs, athletics, the arts, and career pathways, students discover who they are and what they can contribute to the world.
We are investing not only in our children's futures, but in the childhoods they are living right now.
That investment also matters to residents whose children have graduated or who have never had children in our schools.
Research shows that school quality can influence neighborhood desirability and property values. While housing markets depend on many factors, a district's educational reputation is one consideration for prospective homebuyers.
Strong public schools can therefore benefit an entire community, not just the families currently using them.
Our community-approved $41.4 million facilities referendum deepens that investment through renovations and improvements across every school in Randolph. From heating and cooling systems to restrooms and learning environments, these projects address aging infrastructure while helping preserve the buildings future generations will inherit.
This investment also demands accountability. As Board President, I believe fiscal responsibility means carefully managing resources, monitoring expenditures, planning for future needs, and respecting the financial commitments taxpayers make.
I recognize that rising property taxes place real pressure on families, especially those on fixed incomes. Maintaining excellent schools and exercising responsible financial oversight must remain shared priorities.
When previous generations invested in Randolph's schools, they created opportunities that today's children now experience. Our responsibility is to maintain those opportunities while preparing for those who will follow.
What a legacy to leave our children: not simply homes they might inherit, but a community whose value generations before them helped build. A place where they can establish roots, create opportunities, and someday invest in the next generation themselves.
Our schools are part of what we leave behind. Our children are part of what we send forward.

More Than a Tax Bill: Investing in Our Children, Our Homes, and Our Community's Future

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, oil tanks and contamination sites, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Permit &amp; Parcel</a>, covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and brings together records from official sources, including state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns&rsquo; own municipal codes. No account or email is required, and there&rsquo;s no cost. Since launching this spring it has handled more than 18,000 searches from every county in the state.
&ldquo;I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands,&rdquo; said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. &ldquo;All of that is public record. It just wasn&rsquo;t in one place anyone could actually use.&rdquo;
&ldquo;And it isn&rsquo;t only for buyers,&rdquo; Betancor added. &ldquo;With rates where they are, a lot of people are staying put. The house you already own has a paper trail too &mdash; an old oil tank, a flood zone change, a lead service line &mdash; and most owners have never seen it.&rdquo;
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/contamination/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">contamination and tank lookup</a> showing known spill sites and registered tanks near any address, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/lead-pipes/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lead water pipe check</a>, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/lead-safe/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lead-safe inspection lookup</a> showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey&rsquo;s lead paint law, a searchable <a href="https://oprasearch.app/lead-contractors/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">directory of DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractors</a> sorted by distance, a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/fire/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">fire-incident map</a> built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/radon/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">radon map</a> covering every municipality.
Homeowners can also <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/tax/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">look up property taxes and assessments</a>, <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/hvac-age/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">check the age of a furnace, air conditioner or water heater</a>using its serial number, and <a href="https://oprasearch.app/tools/co/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">find their town&rsquo;s certificate-of-occupancy requirements</a> before selling or renting a home.
A companion site, <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA&rsquo;s own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site&rsquo;s own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
Permit &amp; Parcel carries no advertising and is funded entirely by Smart Choice Inspections, Betancor&rsquo;s Cedar Grove home inspection company. Readers who find the site useful and need an inspection can claim <a href="https://callsmartchoice.com/patch" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">$100 off a qualifying home inspection</a>, or learn more on <a href="https://callsmartchoice.com/leobetancor/?gift=credit100&amp;campaign=patch" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Betancor&rsquo;s page</a>.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">TAPinto</a>. Both sites are free at <a href="https://oprasearch.app/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">njflood.zone</a>.
