HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Eliminating middle school sports and staff cuts were among the harsh decisions the Board of Education had to make in the final 2024-25 school budget following the loss of $2.7 million in state aid.
On Monday night, the Board passed the final budget of $145,618,829 for the 2024-25 school year. This is an increase of just over 2 percent or roughly $2.9 million over the 2023-24 budget of $142,705,863. Board members Jane Staats and Jean Trujillo were the only ones to vote against the budget.
