Authorization of Submission of Tax Levy Incentive Aid Application
At this meeting, the Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution to submit the Tax Levy Incentive Aid Package. The district qualifies for this program as it is currently below the state’s adequacy threshold for funding. If approved by the NJDOE, the local tax levy will increase, which will allow the district to reinstate the items listed on the application.

By opting into this NJDOE initiative, the district is taking proactive steps to secure critical additional aid. These funds are essential to sustaining the educational programs and initiatives that the Highland Park community holds as priorities - supporting equity, academic excellence, and student well-being. This resolution demonstrates the Board’s ongoing commitment to protecting the education of all students.
Community members are encouraged to watch the full Board presentation to learn more about the aid package and how it supports the district’s goals.
