See Which Morris Co. Schools Will Get More State Aid For 2024-25

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A majority of Morris County school districts are expected to get increases in state school aid from New Jersey as part of the latest budget proposal, but three will see funding cuts.

More than 60 school districts will see funding decreases of more than 10 percent, according to proposed district-by-district funding data published this week. Another 200-plus school districts are poised to see aid increases in double-digit percentages in Gov. Phil Murphy's proposed spending plan for next year, compared to this year.

Of public school districts in Morris County, Roxbury Township is set to lose the most, recently-released figures show: A cut of $1,859,977, or 21.29 percent from this year's amount of state aid. On the other hand, Mount Olive Township will get a boost of more than $5 million to its already sizable portion of state aid. See full figures below.

During his annual budget address to legislators Tuesday, Murphy noted the proposed plan includes the single largest investment in public education in state history. The budget would fully fund the state’s school funding formula for the first time, raising public school funding by $908 million to $11.7 billion.

Since the 2020-21 school year, the state has determined its annual distribution of education aid through a funding formula called S2, which passed during Murphy's first year in office.
