West New York School
District
2011-2012
Proposed School Budget
presented by
John Fauta, Superintendent
Rena Hendrick, Interim SBA/BS
Primary Goal of This Budget

To develop an education spending plan
which is responsible to the Core
Curriculum Content Standards of the
State Department of Education, the goals
of the District Board of Education, and
the community; is responsive to the
taxpayer; and provides for the needs of
our children, during financially difficult
and educationally challenging times.
WHY THE LOSS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING?


New Jersey will have used the remainder of the
initial $1 Billion in non-recurring Federal stimulus
money (ARRA). Education Jobs Fund stimulus
will expire September 30, 2012. The State deficit
is over $10.5 Billion. Education aid has been
sharply reduced in an effort to balance the
State’s budget.
The West New York School District budget
includes cost savings through reductions in
administrative and non-instructional spending,
and attrition.

made especially dramatic improvements among traditionally underserved student populations.
From 2008-2010, MHS has increased student participation in AP by 44%.
From 2008-2010, MHS has increased the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher
