“Countless school districts across the state have seen significant increases in state aid, but not in Monmouth County and not in our district,” said Assemblywoman Marilyn Piperno (R-11). The decision will reduce the number of bus routes by 25 percent across the FRHSSD, which covers students in Colts Neck, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell, Manalapan and Marlboro. This is in response to the cumulative loss of $25 million for the FRHSSD alone since Murphy signed S2 into law. Murphy to have compassion for the district’s families and children, and to tap into the state’s multi-billion dollar surplus in order to restore $75 million in state aid cuts from district schools since the governor’s controversial S2 funding formula became law.Įarlier this week, the Freehold Regional High School School District (FRHSD) announced that it has been forced to cancel bus service for roughly 3,000 Monmouth County students who live within 2.5 miles of their public schools, effective next school year. MONMOUTH COUNTY - On the heels of the largest school district in the area announcing earlier this week that it will cancel bus service for thousands of school children in Monmouth County in response to massive cuts in state aid by Governor Murphy, Assemblywomen Marilyn Piperno and Kim Eulner (both R-11), are calling for an end to the “state funding war declared on Monmouth schools and families by Trenton politicians.”
