Great Meadows Regional School District

The Great Meadows Regional School District is a regional public school district in Warren County, New Jersey, United States, that serves students in Kindergarten through eighth grade from Independence and Liberty townships. The New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division blocked a 2007 effort by Liberty Township to leave the Great Meadows district based on Liberty's greater share of district costs, with the court citing the inability of the two communities to provide an efficient education separately.
