[Guest]

By Christopher Sacco

At Tuesday’s Cranbury Board of Education meeting, the board voted unanimously to adopt a $17.7 million budget that includes a 3.9-cent increase on the tax rate, which would raise school taxes $236 for the average Cranbury household.

In total, a resident with a home valued at the township average of $608,331 would pay $5,967 in school taxes if the public approves the budget next month. The district has been allocated $176,258 in state aid for next year and the budget also includes $25,487 in carryover federal money from Federal Education Jobs Stimulus Funds the district didn’t use this past September.
