Overview: At a recent Hillside School Board meeting, the financial state of the district took center stage as Superintendent Erskine Glover detailed a budget shortfall of nearly $4 million. This financial gap results from a combination of a 3% decrease in state aid, amounting to a loss of approximately $1.1 million, and rising costs in salaries and special education services. To address this deficit, a 2% increase in taxes was proposed, which would only partially alleviate the shortfall by covering $620,000.
