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. The school funding formula continues to be under scrutiny, but changes are currently being discussed at the state level that may benefit Little Silver. Learn what changes are being considered and how we can be part of the conversation.
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.
February 3, 2026: Monmouth County School Board Association Meeting
Multiple LS BOE members and our BA attended the February Monmouth School Board Association meeting featuring a discussion with Senators Vin Gopal and Declan O'Scanlon. The discussion focused on school consolidation, regionalization, PILOT revenue, and rising special education/healthcare costs.
Update 9/2026: Since that meeting, NJ Bill 4861 - which addressed school consolidation - has stalled with no formal vote taken.
