Overview: The Old Bridge School Board faced a financial predicament as they discussed and voted on a revised budget to address a shortfall and the impact of recent legislation on school funding. The meeting was dominated by the fiscal challenges presented by Public Law 2024 chapters 12 and 13, which necessitated a 9.9% increase to the local tax levy, with the potential to bring an additional $11,310,000 in aid to the district. Despite this substantial increase in revenue, the district was projected to remain underfunded by over $7 million. The board’s decision-making process was influenced by the need to balance fiscal responsibility with the maintenance of educational programs and services.
