Toms River Schools Referendum: A School-By-School Guide

What would $147 million buy for the Toms River Regional School District? What would it buy for your particular school?

Take a look at the school-by-school critical repairs and upgrades that would be funded if voters say yes during the Jan. 22 referendum.

Of the $147,148,269 package, the state will cover $47,281,593, leaving $99,866,676 to be paid by district taxpayers, Business Administrator William Doering said.

If voters approve the package, the funds can only be spent on the projects specified in the referendum, under state law.

In Toms River, the additional debt service would cost taxpayers $11.80 per month, or $141.65 per year, for a home assessed at the township average of $272,400. In Pine Beach, on an average assessment of $267,900, it would cost $11.06 or $132.72, and in South Toms River, the cost would be $6.04 per month, or $72.52 per year, on a home assessed at $165,200. For Beachwood taxpayers, it would cost $8.06 per month or $96.75 per year on the $203,600 average assessment.

You can see how much it would cost you based on your home assessment on the tax calculator on the district's website.
