TALKING NUMBERS –Schools Superintendent John Ravally reviews the preliminary 2024-25 school district budget at the March 20 Board of Education meeting.

Schools Superintendent John Ravally said the tax rate should be what he called “stable,” meaning it should not cost the owner of a home assessed at the township’s average rate more than $100 for the year.
