The Toms River Regional school board will hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. July 3 to vote on an tentative 2024-2025 budget made more complicated by a loss of state education aid.
Superintendent Mike Citta said the meeting was scheduled for July 3 because New Jersey requires that school budgets be submitted to the county superintendent’s office by July 5. The meeting will be held at the auditorium in Toms River High School North, 1245 Old Freehold Road.
Toms River Regional’s school board introduced a $291 million budget for 2024-2025 in March that provided for the same number of staff positions. It was balanced on the revenue side by an anticipated state loan, or another funding source that would have made up what district officials said was a $26,498,520 shortfall in state aid.
