The Lenape Regional High School District will receive $25.8 million in total state aid this year, which is about $1.2 million more than the state gave the district under the 2010–11 budget.
LRHSD Business Administrator and Board Secretary James Hager said, while it’s still early, the district is glad to see an increase in aid.
“It’s kind of early, but we’re encouraged by it,” Hager said. “It’s nice to have an increase rather than a $6 million decrease, as we did last year. We’ll be meeting with Board members and we’re proceeding to put together our budget.”
School district’s 2011–12 budgets are due to the county superintendent’s office on March 4.
