Overview: The Asbury Park School Board meeting addressed significant fiscal challenges, with the budget out of balance by approximately $1 million. The budgetary shortfall remained a focal point, despite the potential passage of a bill that could restore some state aid. The Acting Superintendent underscored the rigorous review process, as the budget was examined line by line to implement necessary adjustments. Additionally, the possibility of the township contributing towards courtesy busing for safety was discussed as a potential revenue source.
