Clark School District Sees Slight Increase in State Aid, Garwood's Aid Will Stay Flat
State aid numbers were released Thursday afternoon.
The Clark School District will receive $2,264 more in state aid than it did last year, while Garwood's aid will remain the same, according to the NJ Department of Education, which released state aid numbers Thursday afternoon.
According to the NJ Department of Education's website, Gov. Chris Christie's proposed budget includes nearly $9 billion in state aid, an increase of $97.3 million over Fiscal Year 2013.
"Throughout my time in office I have continuously argued that in order to grow New Jersey's economy we must invest in education, and my proposed budget is a reflection of my commitment to our educational system and communities across the state," said Christie. "However, even as we continue to fund education at the highest levels in state history, we must remain willing to reflect on how we are spending our money and work towards solutions that make every dollar we invest count."
