Our Mission
Our Mission
As parents, Little Silver residents, and current Board of Education members, we are deeply committed to the continued success of our schools and students. We recognize the importance of staying informed on the local and state issues that directly impact our district, and we work diligently to maintain a current understanding of those discussions and developments.
Among the most significant of these issues is reform of the school funding formula. Like many districts across New Jersey, Little Silver continues to face the challenges of limited state and federal funding alongside steadily rising costs for the programs, services, and supports our students need and deserve.
We know our community shares this strong commitment to public education, and we invite you to join us in the ongoing conversation surrounding the issues that matter most to Little Silver schools. Every student deserves access to the resources and opportunities necessary to succeed.
This site will be updated regularly as new information becomes available and important developments arise.
For Our Attention:
The School Budget: The Road Ahead
Little Silver, like many districts throughout New Jersey, is facing significant financial pressures driven by rising costs in several key areas. Health care benefit costs continue to increase dramatically, while the overall cost of living in New Jersey adds further strain to our overall expenses. In addition, the state’s 2% tax levy cap limits how much revenue we can raise to meet these growing demands. These pages outline how these factors impact our budget and what we can do to advocate for positive change in our state.
School Consolidation
Consolidation and Regionalization have been a hot topic in NJ public education for years. NJ has over 600 school districts, with over 100 of them having less than 500 students. With decreasing state and special education aid, school budgets are stressed and many wonder if combining neighboring districts will make the dollars go further. S4861 , sponsored by Vin Gopal, is the latest resurgence of this argument. Click for more!
