Washington Township Public Schools and dozens of other school systems across New Jersey are currently facing a financial storm.
Parents , staff spar with Washington Township School Board officials over budget cuts Parents and staff expressed their displeasure at an hours-long board meeting Monday night over cuts made in the Washington Township Public Schools' budget for the 2024-2025 school year.
He added that the board looked at eliminating line items across all categories, but even that wasn't enough to balance the budget. Governor Phil Murphy has proposed record spending for public education in his 2025 fiscal year budget. Despite that, more than 130 schools across the state are set to lose money based on the state's funding formula.
However, the district said that money only prevented it from having to make more cuts. It still had to account for increased salary obligations, benefits, tuition, and transportation costs.
