Your response: West Windsor and Plainsboro share a regional school district, the West Windsor-Plainsboro School System. Our towns share ten schools with each other: 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, and 6 elementary and upper elementary schools. Many families, like my own, moved to Plainsboro for the quality of the school district - one of the best in NJ. We have many South and East Asian places of worship, grocery stores, and businesses located in Plainsboro and West Windsor. Lastly, an inconvenient truth about living in Plainsboro is that we don’t have a gas station in my town, the closest one is in West Windsor. Our communities have a need to share resources and should share a representative as well.
