Every school district is receiving an increase in K – 12 state aid this
year.
Approximately one quarter of a billion dollars of new money is being
added to direct state aid.
About $219 million of that new money is being added to the school
funding formula spending, an increase of 3.2 percent in K – 12
formula aid.
More than $11 million is being added to support expansion of the
Interdistrict School Choice program.
Over $4 million is being added in state funding for public charter
schools.
The total pre-school appropriation will not be reduced from the
current spending level.
Non-public school funding will remain the same.

•
On March 24, 2009 – New Funding Formula was declared
Constitutional by Special Master to the New Jersey State
Supreme Court (effective with 2008-2009 School Year)
•
Aid distributed through a foundation formula –All students in
poverty receive additional aid – Not just those in Abbott
Districts
•
New Formula – “No District will see a decrease in total state
aid during the first three years of program- After that
enrollments declines will impact state aid” (11-12 is 4th Year)
