Tabernacle Superintendent Glenn Robbins slams NJDOE’s funding cuts
Tabernacle Township School District Superintendent Glenn Robbins railed against funding cuts for his district at the board of education meeting last Monday night.
Aid from the state Department of Education is down 2 percent from what the state initially had planned in its April budget, according to School Business Administrator Jessica DeWysockie. This year’s total state aid is $5,473,344, according to the NJDOE’s website. According to Robbins, the reduction in state aid was the result of the state’s decision to change the “funding formula” for public schools.
“I am very disappointed in the way the state went forward with this,” Robbins said at the meeting. “[Our students] are the second hardest hit in all of Burlington County, and I think that’s bad. A disgrace. I hate to say the word, but that’s the truth.”
