SCHOOL FUNDING REFORM ACT (SFRA) § The SFRA formula was implemented in 2008. § It was never fully funded. § The last few years the State has been � phasing in � funding the formula. § Certain districts have received additional funding in an effort to � catch up � with underfunding, others have had aid reduced.

ADEQUACY BUDGET As part of the SFRA in 2008, the NJDOE has established an “Adequacy Budget,” which they have determined to be an amount needed to implement all core curriculum requirements which is updated annually. Special Budget Note: Even with the increase in State Aid the state calculates that our Proposed 2020-2021 Budget is $4,732,205 below the adequacy amount the state calculates should be spent by our district.
