No Change in State Aid to Ramsey Schools

Ramsey schools will receive the same amount of state aid next school year as they did for the 2012-13 school year, the Christie Administration announced Thursday. According to an NJ Department of Education document, Ramsey is slated to receive $ 1,240,576 in state aid, the same amount it got last year.

According to a release from the Governor’s office, Chris Christie’s proposed budget includes nearly $9 billion in educational state aid, an increase of $97.3 million over 2013.

Ramsey school officials have been commenting for several months about the budget for the next school year.

The Board of Education is planning a public budget presentation on Wednesday, March 27, and residents will vote on it on April 16.
