Isaac gave a month-by-month summary that opened with September memorial activities and included a September salute to veterans, October breast cancer awareness spirit week, a November canned goods food drive, and winter spirit activities in December. The council hosted a Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest in January, a Black History Month museum and slideshow in February, a March trip to the New Jersey State Capitol and participation in a hands-on lawmaking program, and a long-running diversity night that the student council said has been held for six years.

\"We will start off with September. So for September, we did a lot of 9 11 memorial events such as the salute to veteran ceremony,\" Isaac announced during her report. She also said the council raised funds through a weekly pretzel sale and was preparing for an end-of-year trip in May.

The presentation was part of a regular meeting that featured multiple student recognitions; board members thanked Isaac for her leadership and noted she will be recognized again that evening.

Superintendent Santelli presented the budget at a public hearing, saying state aid increases produced a net $1.6 million gain but that a 6% cap on aid left the district underfunded compared with the formula\u0000s adequacy estimate. \"If we weren't capped, we would have received $3,100,000,\" Santelli said, summarizing materials the administration submitted to the county. The board voted by roll call to approve the budget resolution (item 4.2).

The nut graf: The vote finalizes spending and local tax decisions the district must file with the county; administrators said the package balances classroom needs and fiscal restraint while avoiding a larger tax levy increase.

Board members and administrators described how the district arrived at the proposal. Santelli explained the district faced a roughly $1.5 million underfunding relative to the full formula and reviewed a one-time state allowance termed an \"additional expenditure request\" of up to $7.5 million that districts could use but which would increase local tax levies. \"We chose not to take advantage of this because this wasn't free money,\" Santelli said, adding the board declined to place additional burden on taxpayers.

The approved package uses the 2% tax levy cap and a partial use of bank cap funds of $315,000 to offset costs; administrators said the combined approach reduced the year-over-year local impact to about $28\u0000$30 a year for a home assessed at $200,000, roughly $2.40 per month, and relies on operational efficiencies to cover remaining increases. Expenditure pressures cited in the presentation included salary and benefit increases, transportation, and a projected 15% increase in utilities.

Public comment on the budget was invited; none was offered before the vote. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from Mrs. Chester, Doctor Permenter, Mrs. Avery, Mr. Dace, Mr. Gentile and Vice President Becherra Blau; the resolution passed.

Looking ahead, administrators noted the budget will remain subject to county processing and that the district will continue pursuing efficiencies and monitoring state aid developments.","After a public presentation and discussion of state aid limits, the Galloway Township Board of Education approved the district\u0000s fiscal 2026 budget, keeping the tax levy at the 2% cap and using a partial bank cap to cover a shortfall.","actionData","errors"]
