The Warren Hills Regional Board of Education in addition to the regular advertised budget will seek approval from the district’s legal voters to raise an additional $762,900 for general funds in the 2017-2018 school year. Approval of these taxes will result in a budget year only increase of the tax levy for 2017-2018 of $586,379 and a permanent tax levy increase of $176,521. The budget year only increase for 2017-2018 reverts back in 2018-
necessary to achieve the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The Separate Proposal items if allowed to remain in the budget would have impacted the district by having to cut “thorough and efficient” educational items from the budget.
