Haddonfield's Public Meetings This Week: Recreation Tuesday, School Board and Historic Preservation Thursday

Three public meetings, what's on the HPC agenda, and how to show up or watch.

By Live Haddonfield ยท

Haddonfield has three public meetings left this week. The Recreation Committee meets Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. at Borough Hall. On Thursday, Nov. 12, the Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. and the Historic Preservation Commission meets at 7:30 p.m., with sign plans for Penny's Bagels, Matcha Panda and the Haddonfield Record Exchange on its agenda.

Here's what each one covers and how to be in the room.

Tuesday, Nov. 10: Recreation Committee, 7 p.m.

The borough's recreation group meets at Borough Hall, 242 Kings Highway East. Haddonfield.Today lists it as the Recreation Committee. No agenda was posted with the listing as of Monday evening. If you care about fields, courts or programs for kids, this is the meeting where those ideas start.

Thursday, Nov. 12: Board of Education, 7 p.m.

The school board meets in the Haddonfield Memorial High School Library. Its 2026 calendar says meetings may open with a closed executive session at 6:30 p.m., with the public meeting at 7. The board also notes that action may be taken at any meeting, so this isn't just a discussion night.

Agendas go into the board's agendas folder, linked from boe.haddonfieldschools.org. Meetings stream on the district's YouTube channel, linked on the same page. After this one, the next board meeting on the calendar is Thursday, Dec. 17.

Thursday, Nov. 12: Historic Preservation Commission, 7:30 p.m.

The HPC meets in the Borough Hall Auditorium. Its posted agenda has two kinds of cases.

Business signs:

  • Penny's Bagels, 212 Kings Highway East. This sign was tabled at the Oct. 14 meeting. The borough page now lists a redesigned sign.
  • Matcha Panda, 149 to 151 Kings Highway East.
  • Haddonfield Record Exchange, 415 North Haddon Ave.

Historic district applications:

  • 53 Kings Highway West.
  • 425 Kings Highway East. Plans are posted on the borough page.

A sign application tells you a business is putting its name on a downtown storefront. It doesn't tell you an opening date, so we'll wait for the businesses themselves on that.

Next week: Zoning Board, Tuesday, Nov. 17

The Zoning Board of Adjustment meets Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. As of Monday evening the board's 2026 page showed the date with no agenda or applications posted yet. We covered the October Zoning Board meeting and the turf yard case if you want the backstory.
