We have another request for all parents to contact the appropriate legislators on the Senate and Assembly Budget Committees. This is another attempt to reach as many legislators as possible with our requests for nonpublic funding. The months of April, May, and early June are crucial to this effort.
Below are the key "asks" of the nonpublic school community re: the Governor's 2016-2017 budget. This message should be sent to the below listed members of the appropriate committees by email:
Dear
I am writing to ask that you restore the 6.8 % nonpublic school reduction in funding in the Governor's Fiscal Year 2017 Budget. Specifically, I ask that you restore the Nonpublic School Security Aid Program to at least $25.00 per pupil, and that you increase the $884.00 per pupil allotment for Nonpublic School Transportation Aid. This allotment has been frozen since 2008. Additionally, please restore Nonpublic School Nursing Service Aid to $94.00 per pupil and Nonpublic School Technology Initiative to $40.00 per pupil. Such increases are greatly needed by nonpublic school students whose parents save the taxpayers of the state of New Jersey a great deal of money each year.
Sincerely,
From the ASSEMBLY BUDGET COMMITTEE:
John J. Burzichelli (D) Vice-Chair (serves all of Salem County, part of Cumberland County and part of Gloucester County):
[email protected]
From the SENATE BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE:
Jeff Van Drew (D) (serves parts of Atlantic, Cumberland, and Cape May Counties):
[email protected]
The 2017 State Budget: Eliminated Security Funding, Reduced Nursing & Technology Funds, and Froze Transportation Aid
The Governor is proposing a 6.8% budget cut for non-public schools.
Our Students Need Your Voice & Support.
Please Read Below & Act Today!
CLICK HERE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
Specifically, the Nonpublic School Security Program was totally eliminated; the per pupil amounts for nursing services and technology were reduced. The per-pupil amount for nonpublic school transportation remained frozen at $884.00 - an amount that has been frozen for nine years.
We need your voice to tell the State Legislators who are on the Budget Committees to restore the funding for the Nonpublic School Security Program and to increase funding for nonpublic nursing services to $94.00 per pupil and nonpublic technology aid to $40.00 per pupil.
You will be directed to the Action Center with two template letters describing the issues. All you have to do is sign the letters. The letters will be directed to the state legislators that serve the district in which you live, according to your zip codes.

Mount Laurel Baseball, the community based non-profit baseball organization serving Mount Laurel, has community service hour opportunities, primarily involving volunteer work at our concession stand, every midweek evening beginning at 5:45 p.m. and all day on Saturdays. The season runs from April 11 through the beginning of June. They also will have two long weekends in June for summer hours if they work for students seeking service hours in the summer. The students would not be involved in opening or closing the concession, just help at the counter. Any time that can be provided by students will be greatly appreciated. Additionally, they have service opportunities, although not as many available hours, for field maintenance and repairs throughout the Spring. Having students providing community service will greatly unburden the parents who put in a substantial amount of time and effort with our other activities in keeping our organization alive and productive for the community.
Contact Tom Gallagher: [email protected] or 609 519-9954.
