§ The SFRA formula was implemented in 2008. § It was never fully funded. § The last few years the State has been phasing in funding the formula. § Certain districts have received additional funding in an effort to catch up with underfunding, others have had aid reduced.
As part of the SFRA in 2008, the NJDOE has established an “Adequacy Budget,” which they have determined to be an amount needed to implement all core curriculum requirements which is updated annually.
Even with the increase in State Aid the state calculates that our Proposed 2020-2021 Budget is $4,732,205 below the adequacy amount the state calculates should be spent by our district.
Special Budget Note: 2020-21 School Budget slightly less Than original tax levy 2018-19
1% General Fund Tax Levy
