Overview: In a recent Glen Ridge School Board meeting, budgetary concerns took center stage as discussions focused on the district’s financial planning amidst uncertainty in state funding. The board highlighted the challenges posed by the state’s ambiguous term “fully funded,” which creates unpredictability in the level of aid the district can expect from New Jersey. As the state works on the FY 26 budget, local representatives, advocacy organizations, and the New Jersey School Boards Association will engage with the Department of Treasury to advocate for district needs. The superintendent, Dirk Phillips, emphasized the importance of aligning the board’s goals with district aspirations to navigate these financial challenges effectively.
