The Lakewood School District compared to the Atlantic City School District Lakewood Public Schools is no less “needy” than Atlantic City Public Schools that receives millions of additional State dollars.

May 22, 2017

Facts: New Jersey has not followed the statutory formula for funding school budgets since its first year in law in 2008-2009, and was cut in 20102011 (In its first year, 2008-2009, it was statutorily funded, not fully funded.)

Currently, there is no part of the school funding formula that allows the flexibility to provide additional aid to school districts in distress or that are unique. http://njeducationaid.blogspot.com/2017/02/sfra-was-never-fully-funded.html

2

Fact: The Lakewood School District is unlike any school district in New Jersey, with 6,100 Public School students, and over 30,000 Non-Public School students, for which the School Funding Formula does not work.

3

Fact: The Atlantic City School District received additional funds, not a loan, in the 2016-2017 school year through Senate Bill A3983/S-2574, which was approved in June of 2015. In the 2017-2018, State of New Jersey Budget Summary (Page 41), the Atlantic City School District is slated to receive $32 million dollars in discretionary school aid, called “Commercial Valuation Stabilization Aid.” FY18 Budget Summary: http://www.nj.gov/treasury/omb/publications/18bib/BIB.pdf

Fact:

Lakewood needs discretionary aid, not more loans. 5
