GOV MURPHY PROPOSED SCHOOL AID INCREASE, OR NO DECREASE

Governor Murphy’s proposed 18/19 budget message was released March 15, 2018.  It calls for an increase in State “formula” aid for school districts by $283.6 million. Under this funding plan, more than 94% of districts will receive additional state aid and no districts would see a decrease in aid.  A summary of the Governor’s funding plan for state school aid is here:  http://www.state.nj.us/education/news/2018/0315aid.htm
