Summary
After a public hearing April 29, the Salem County Special Services and Vocational Technical School District board adopted a $11,850,542 budget for 2025–26, with a $36,000 tax levy. The budget was approved by a recorded roll call vote with four members voting yes.
The Salem County Special Services and Vocational Technical School District Board of Education on April 29 adopted its final fiscal year 2025–26 budget, setting a total base budget of $11,850,542 and a tax levy of $36,000.
The Business Administrator presented line items showing a General Fund of $10,373,869 and a Special Revenue Fund of $1,476,673. The board held a public hearing on the budget at its administrative offices at 880 Route 45 in Woodstown before taking the vote.
The board recorded the motion to adopt the budget as approved by the Executive County Superintendent on April 16, 2025. The roll-call vote recorded four yes votes in favor; several members were marked absent in the roll call. The resolution states the tentative budget was previously adopted March 6 and approved by the county office on April 16.
Why it matters: The adopted budget funds day-to-day operations and special programs across the district’s Special Services and Vocational Technical schools for the coming year. It also establishes the district’s tax levy and public-facing spending plan required by state education regulations (18A:17-36; 18A:17-9; N.J.A.C. 6A:23-2.12).
Next steps: The budget will be implemented for FY 2025–26 as adopted; the minutes record the formal adoption and public hearing and do not list further amendments or follow-up action in this meeting.
