TOWNSHIP OF OCEAN SCHOOL DISTRICT STATE AID 2018 - 2019:

  • Increase in state aid over the current year for 2018 – 2019

school budget in the amount of $464,924

  • Today we receive $1,769,096 less in state aid than we

received in 2009-2010 ($9,848,816 vs $8,079,720)

  • As a percentage of the school budget, state aid continues

to decline… (20% to 10% in the last 15 years)

  • Ocean Township receives less in state aid now than the

district received over 20 years ago

  • Update: In 2017–2018 the district lost $155,000 in aid after

the budget was approved by the state, hopefully this will not happen again.
