Hope Township School – April 2006

Did You Know…?

    …NJ State Aid for Hope School’s operating budget has declined from 33% in 2000-01 to only 26.6% for 2006-07?

    …if the State Aid for the 2006-07 school year remained at 33%, we would be reducing your tax rate by 1 cent?

    …that if NJ funded K-12 education at the average rate of all other states (49%), your tax rate would be lower and your tax cost reduced by $1,200 from last year?

    …Hope School (please see below) has the 3rd lowest Comparative Per Pupil Expense for Proposed 2006-07 Budget of all K-8 Warren County Schools under 750 students?
