2022 NJ School Aid: What Each Bergen County District Will Get

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Bergen County schools will receive $344,734,491 in state aid for 2022, data from the New Jersey Department of Education shows.

This month, Gov. Phil Murphy's administration proposed $19.2 billion for New Jersey pre-K to 12 schools for the Fiscal Year 2023 budget, including an additional $649.8 million for K-12 aid to put K-12 "formula" aid at $9.92 billion.

New Jersey's school-funding formula for state aid comes from S2 — a controversial law passed in 2018 that modified how the state determines to allocate its funding for each district. FY2023 would be the fifth of seven state budgets that S2 will impact.

Murphy's proposed budget also include $20 million in stabilization aid — one-time assistance for school districts facing fiscal challenges. The governor introduced the $48.9 billion budget Tuesday to state legislators.

State aid is an influential factor in a district's decisions on raising local property taxes. Many say that aid cuts or flat spending each year give them cause to raise what are already the highest property taxes in the country.

Some schools will see decreased funding, but that is not the case with Bergen districts.
