RIDGEWOOD — The school board has unanimously approved a preliminary budget that would increase taxes for the average homeowner by $203.
A public hearing on the proposed $91.3 million budget, which would raise school taxes 2 percent, is set for March 27. No dramatic changes to the 2013-14 spending plan are expected over the next two weeks, said Board President Sheila Brogan.
“There may be some changes, because there is some exploration still going on,” Brogan explained. “We did have to make some adjustments in our budget to get to the 2 percent [cap].”
Brogan said the budget reflects no cuts to programming or full-time personnel, however some part-time staffing reductions would affect the number of teachers’ aides in the classroom.
The budget vote is set for April 16
