The Bottom Line…
The Proposed Budget calls for:
• A 0.50% increase in the operating budget tax levy
• A 0.50% increase in overall tax levy
• Maintaining core programming with an emphasis on
educational best practices
While other districts are reducing opportunities, the Westwood Regional
School District continues to offer improved curriculum and programs
by being effective, efficient, and responsible with taxpayer dollars.
