| Hillsborough Township (Somerset) | The resolution proposes additional language in NJSBA Manual of and Policies on Education that states NJSBA supports allowing districts to raise their tax levies by more than 2% through a cap waiver where the district currently spends below its local fair share according to the School Funding Reform Act. The NJSBA further supports using a rolling average of district wealth, for example, using data from the last 5-10 years, rather than a one-year snapshot, as a way of smoothing out the volatility in the state aid formula wealth calculation. |
