Manchester Schools Facing $99K State Aid Cut For 2022-23

MANCHESTER, NJ — The Manchester Township School District will have its state school funding cut by more than $99,000 for the 2022-23 school year, under state aid figures released by the state Department of Education.

Manchester is among about 200 school districts whose aid is being reduced under Gov. Phil Murphy's proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget.

Murphy's administration proposed $9.2 billion for New Jersey pre-K to 12 schools, including an additional $649.8 million for K-12 aid to put K-12 "formula" aid at $9.92 billion.

Manchester is slated to receive $5,102,033 in aid for 2022-23, a decrease of $99,267 less than the $5.2 million the district received in 2021-22, because of the ongoing cuts under S2, which is in the fifth year of seven years of cuts.
