A handful of residents filled the Bell Oaks Media Centre March 4 as part of a Budget Advisory Committee implemented by Bellmawr Superintendent Annette Castiglione.
She said that while the Board of Education currently only has a preliminary budget, members were waiting to see how Governor Corzine’s budget announcement would affect their final numbers.
Ms. Castiglione added once they receive that information, a public hearing will be held, making the information available to the public, adding a copy of the new budget will appear both in print, as well as on the District website, www.bellmawrschools.org.
Interim Board Secretary N. John Amato said the BOE was using the same numbers as last year, adding that while they are expecting 20 percent more in this year’s budget, they did also expect a shortfall of approximately $871,000.
