It remains unclear whether Brick taxpayers will face a significant school tax increase this year as the release of state funding figures are still a month away.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brick school district officials say they are putting together a lean budget that will provide school board members with options on how to move forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say, conservatively, that if we don\u2019t get our state aid numbers until mid-March, I hope that the governor\u2019s office and the DOE will extend that period a bit longer so we can put a fair an equitable budget together for the public,\u201d said Acting Superintendent Dennis Filippone.<\/p>\n

Last year, Brick was\u00a0threatened with a loss of $1.4 million in state funding for its schools. In the months that followed the announcement, state officials restored the half \u2013 then all \u2013 of the education dollars for the 2017-18 school year. But with a new administration in Trenton, it is unclear whether previous aid figures will be extended or if towns like Brick, which receives what is known as adjustment aid, will face cuts.<\/p>\n

Adjustment aid is provided to districts that, under a state formula, are considered to have tax rates that are too low. Brick is among those districts and received $14,936,092 last year. Its total operating budget was $154,421,700.<\/p>\n
