Woodbridge Schools Receive 3 Percent Less In State Aid For '25-'26 Year

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Last week, as part of Gov. Phil Murphy's budget, state aid figures were released for all school districts in the state.

The amount of aid districts receive from Trenton is very important, as it helps districts prepare their budgets, determine which classes and extracurriculars to keep, and transportation.

The money will be used for the upcoming 2025-'26 school year.

Here is how much state aid Woodbridge Twp. public schools will receive:

• Woodbridge school district will receive $123.5 million, which is $3.8 million less than the $127.3 million Woodbridge received for the '24-'25 school year. It is a three percent reduction. (Find Woodbridge on this list.)

To make it more equitable as to how state aid is determined, this year the state put a three percent cap on how much a district could lose, and a six percent cap on how much more aid it could get, compared to 2024.

This will be the final budget Murphy will prepare in his time as New Jersey governor.
