Morris School District Will Receive More State Aid For 2024-25

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The Morris School District is expected to get $1,040,095 more than last year in school aid from New Jersey as part of the latest state budget proposal.

The district is expected to get $10,174,031 for the 2024-25 school year, which an increase of 11.39 percent over the current year’s amount.

Superintendent Dr. Anne Mucci said the district is "pleased and appreciative" in the increased funding.

"We value our partnership with the NJDOE and their understanding of the depth of programming that we provide for the students in the district," she said.

During his annual budget address to legislators Tuesday, Gov. Phil 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.

More than 60 school districts will see funding cuts in double-digit percentages, according to proposed district-by-district funding data published this week. Another 200-plus school districts are poised to see aid increases in the double digit percentages.

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.
