Most schools to keep restored state aid for next year’s budget, not property tax relief
New Jersey residents will have to wait until next year to see significant property tax relief from the extra $600 million in school aid restored in the state budget.
Only 20 of the state’s 580 public school districts have opted to return some or all of their restored state aid to taxpayers as property tax relief this year, a list provided Wednesday by the state Department of Education shows. (D’Amico, Press of Atlantic City)
