The Medford Board of Educa-tion passed the budget for the2016-17 school year after lastweek’s public hearing.

The tentative budget intro-duced in May was sent to the Of-fice of the Executive County Su-perintendent of Schools where itwas then reviewed and approvedto be presented to the public.

After giving taxpayers the op-portunity to voice their opinionsabout the budget during the Aprilboard meeting, the board mem-bers approved the final draft andimplemented it for the upcomingyear.

Superintendent Joe Del Rossi

opened the board meeting to thepublic but no one chose to com-ment.

Medford residents will now belooking at a 1.46-cent increase onthe tax levy, resulting in a K-8school tax increase of $47.89 on ahome assessed at the township av-erage of $327,600, which amountsto $4 more per month.

Every penny the district raisesthe tax rate results in $298,510 of

revenue for the budget.The increase in the budget will

cover all contractual salaries, the5 percent increase in medical ben-efits, new elementary school sci-ence programming and materi-als, elementary and middleschool literacy materials, sum-mer curriculum writing projectsand building level technology up-grades.

“Technology plays such an im-portant role in the support of cur-riculum,” Del Rossi said. “Ourgoal is to embed technology intoinstruction.”

To help ensure this goal is ac-complished without any bumpsin the road, the district recentlyappointed principal of theKirby’s Mill Elementary School,

Mark Damon, to the position of educational technology coordina-tor for the district.

He will now be responsible forleading the district’s initiative forembedding technology into thedaily instruction of students.

As the board continues to bringteaching positions back after thebudget cuts in 2009, it has also

happenings at the medford library association

Pinelands Tween Book Club reading ‘Bud, Not Buddy’

Way back in 2010, Gov.

Christie won a political bat-

tle, enacting a 2 percent cap

on municipal tax levies.

The law required towns to limit

their municipal budget increases to a

maximum of 2 percent, down from 4

percent, lest they be subject to publicvote.

As is the norm, legislators argued

over whether the law would have any

real effect on property taxes, or

whether it was just another way of an-

gling and passing blame onto predeces-

sors.

State data released recently would

say that Christie’s property tax reform

is indeed working.

While the average residential prop-

erty tax bill rose to a record high of

$8,353 last year, it increased “only” 1.7

percent, when you factor out the two

troubling property value communities

of Atlantic City and Paterson.

The state’s Community Affairs De-

partment said the average homeownerpaid $468 more in property taxes last

year.

We’re not ready to jump headfirst

into the Kool-Aid just yet, but we also

believe that at least a small part of the

leveling off in tax increases is because

of the property tax cap.

Residents of the Garden State still

pay the highest average real-estate

levies.

Christie’s property-tax reform was

never going to fix that problem in this

short of a time frame, but it’s a good

start that’s showing progress already.

What the 2 percent cap does is keep

local governments in check, with a rea-

sonable limit on increases. It forces

local councils, committees, commis-

sions and school boards to take a sec-

ond look at expenses and cut the excess

wherever possible. It forces these enti-

ties to investigate shared services and

share resources.

In a word, it forces accountability.

No council, committee, commissionor school board wants the fate of its

budget to rest in the hands of voters.

School boards disliked the practice

when it was a standard, and they

would all dislike it if it were to go to a

vote again.

Is Christie’s 2 percent cap the be-all,

end-all of property tax reform in New

Jersey? Probably not. But it is a step in

the right direction.

Now, it’s up to our state govern-

ment – the one we have now and the

next administration that will take of-

fice when Christie’s terms ends in

2018 – to take the next step and fix our

state’s broken property tax system

once and for all.

in our opinion

Is Christie’s tax cap working?The data would say yes, at lea st on the surface; now it’s time for a next step

coming in to help take the burdenoff the taxpayers.

“Our state aid should not belower than it was in 2009,” hesaid.

Over the past 20 years, statesupport of the LRHSD has de-creased from nearly 40 percent of the budget in 1994-95 to just 19.7percent of the 2016-2017 budget.

“We’re grateful for the small in-crease in state funding for ourdistrict, but as expenses increase,it remains a challenge to meet theeducational needs of all of ourstudents within a manageablebudget,” Superintendent CarolBirnbohm said.

State aid increased by $67,820this year, though this numberwon't cover even half of the costthe district will be spending tobring in the two new special edu-cation staff positions.

The new special education

teacher and support staff mem-ber are required by incomingninth-grade students’ IndividualEducation Plans.

LRHSD graduation rates areamong the highest in the state at95.5 percent for the class of 2015,

with 92.5 percent of graduatescontinuing their education inmore than 286 four-year and two-year colleges and universities.

The district gives students theopportunity to get a head start ontheir college education by offer-ing the College Acceleration Pro-gram, with 1,245 students partici-pating in 2015-16 and earning col-lege credits through Rowan Col-lege at Burlington County.

“Our students will earn nearly8,500 college credits this yearalone,” Birnbohm said.

“This program, offered at noadditional cost to the district ortaxpayers, gives students a jumpon continuing education and,equally important, helps offsetcollege costs for students andtheir families.”

Other LRHSD cost-saving ini-tiatives range from shared servic-es agreements with the sendingdistricts to per pupil administra-tive costs that are significantlylower than other regional dis-tricts. This school year, the aver-age per student administrativecost of $1,506 is $476 below the

state-mandated regional limit of $1,982 per student.

The LRHSD also benefits fromfundraising efforts and donationsfrom a range of community andalumni groups.

In addition, the district re-

ceives corporate and foundationgrant funding, which recently in-cluded grants from LockheedMartin in the amount of $31,200

for two school years. The grantsare funding the incorporation of a comprehensive STEM program,Project Lead the Way, into the cur-rent course of study.

“This year, individual and com-munity group donations reacheda total of $2.55 million con-tributed to the district since the2007-2008 school year,” Birnbohmsaid.

“Our parents, alumni and com-munity members are active in thedistrict and integral to our stu-dents’ success. Their financialsupport complements their in-volvement, making it possible forus to provide our students and thecommunity with improved athlet-ic facilities, new equipment andlife-changing experiences.”

Budget information, includingtax impacts for each sending dis-trict, is posted on the Lenape Re-gional High School District web-site, www.lrhsd.org.
