1 Piscataway Board of Education

2 State aid released in February as expected, flat. $15.7 million. Piscataway continues to be underfunded; district does not receive its fair share of state aid. State aid is 15 % of operating budget; local taxpayers pay disproportionate share compared to surrounding towns, almost 80% of school budget. Still not whole from 2009 cut in state aid of $4.8 million $3 million spent on CCSS, PARCC and Teach NJ - every NJ initiative is being played out on national stage; NJEA saying PARCC is dead, Governor lukewarm about Common Core, Chapter 78 will be an issue in gubernatorial election Employment contract with PPSA expires in June 2016, PTEA expires in June Background

3 Piscataway PTEA is at Tier 4 of Chapter 78 in CAP on tax levy Can only increase 2% with minimal adjustments (i.e. health care costs, large spikes in enrollment). This is ability to exceed 2% if significant increases in these areas. Tax levy can also exceed 2% through the use of banked cap. Pway has $684,000 in banked cap ability to exceed 2% because previous years we didn t increase the tax levy 2%. This banked cap expires in if unused. Ratables matter After a steady decline for 8 years, Pway ratables increased slightly in and This and Chapter 78 kept some increases below 2% showed $29 million increase in ratables in 14-15, or.5% (Ratable base is $6.2 billion.)
