  3. Summary • Operating Fund tax levy and Debt Service tax levy changes offset each other for 2013-14 which means no additional local tax dollars are being raised. • Existing programs are maintained in the 2013-14 budget. • An increase of two elementary BSI teaching positions by 0.2 FTE each and one new teaching position at Jr.-Sr. High • Facility Project budget is decreased from $500,000 to $270,000 in the 2013-14 budget (plan to restore normal funding in the 14-15 budget). • Jr.-Sr. High School will be undergoing a roof replacement funded through Capital Reserve.

  5. State Aid for Operating Budget • School Funding Reform Act (SFRA) formula – • Student weighting formula has been negatively altered by the NJDOE for the second year in a row. • This has arbitrarily decreased the district’s Adequacy Budget. • Nonetheless, Woodbury City is once again underfunded. For the 2013-14 school year, the district is shorted $3.5 million in state aid, even when using the lesser state-determined weights.

  7. State Aid for Operating Budget • State Aid increases by 2.4% for the 2013-14 school year. • Includes new Inter-district Public School Choice aid of $41,796 • Future increases in enrollment for Woodbury’s program should result in more state aid in future years. • School Development Authority (SDA) assessment is $50k higher than the 12-13 year. This is an added expense that negates some of the above increase in state aid.

  8. Overall Tax Levy • 2012-13 General & Debt Tax Levy – 11,929,829. • 2013-14 General & Debt Tax Levy – 11,929,684 0% change in tax levy
