Brick, according to figures published by the state Department of Education today, will receive an increase in state funding for its school district.<\/p>\n

The funding, which is subject to the adoption of a final budget by the state legislature, would increase by 2.1 percent, to\u00a0$36,055,619. Last year, the district received\u00a0$35,304,821 in state funding, but only after a budget battle that restored funding<\/a> after a bipartisan deal threatened to reduce funding $2.1 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most significantly, Brick will receive$14,213,519 in what is known as \u201cadjustment aid,\u201d funding that is provided to school districts whose tax rates are not high enough according to a state formula. This was the aid that was targeted last year in the budget deal hatched between then-Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. President Steve Sweeney. The reduction was eventually totally reversed.<\/p>\n
