Advocate for Fair Funding in NJ Public Schools
A Little Silver Board of Education Advocacy Project
Our Mission
As parents, Little Silver residents, and current Board of Education Members we have a dedication to and vested interest in the success of our schools and our students. A major factor in our district's function is the health of its budget. Our district, as well as others, have faced the challenges of state and federal school funding shortages, as well as the rising costs of services required. We know you have the same dedication to our schools as we do, so we are inviting you to join in our efforts to advocate for funding reform so that every student will have the resources they need to achieve. The information on this site will be updated regularly, on an as-needed basis.
