$225K Grant Will Benefit Berkeley Township School District

BERKELEY, NJ — A grant will help the Berkeley Township School District replace a boiler in one of its schools, according to the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA).

“Through our partnership with local school districts, this funding helps to ensure all students
and school staff members across the State have access to high-quality learning environments
that support positive learning outcomes. By addressing important school building upgrade
projects, we are creating safe, healthy facilities for generations of young learners,” said SDA
CEO Manuel Da Silva.

The $225,561 grant is part of the $450 million in grant funding announced by the SDA and New Jersey Department of Education in Sept. 2023. The goal of the funding is to ensure students receive a strong education while relieving the pressure on local taxpayers, according to the SDA.

This money will be used to replace the boiler in wing D of the Bayville Elementary School.

The project in the Berkeley Township School District represents $563,904 in total estimated costs including a state grant of $225,561, which leverages the local contribution of $338,342. The SDA has executed $9.8 million in grants to the Berkeley Township School District since the start of the State’s school construction program.
