As our budget was defeated by voters on April 15, the Board of Education and administration met with the mayors and/or their representatives from our 12 municipalities to review our budget on May 1.  The decision from the mayors was to cut $1 million from our budget, bringing the tax levy to $43,727,188.  Each municipality must adopt a resolution regarding this change to our budget and then the Board of Education will accept the $1 million cut formally at their May 20th meeting.
