Morristown High School Tuition Overview

  • MHS tuition is calculated based on a cost per student.
  • Prior year’s actual will be the basis for calculating

upcoming tuition.

  • Previously, Morris Plains overpaid tuition and would

receive credit back to the district. This overpayment was problematic for budgeting within the 2% tax increase cap.

levy increase of 2.00%, keeping us at cap.

administrative costs.

Under Cap

The Morris Plains School District 2013-14 tax levy will increase 2.00% for 2014-2015, despite higher than 2% expenses in health expenses, insurance, building costs, special education costs, unfunded mandates, energy costs and Morris School District tuition rates. The district is generating new revenue and reviewing all major expenditures in the district for savings and efficiency.
