The Barnegat Township Board of Education last week voted to table a proposed $67,276,825 school budget for 2023-24 which is proposing a 6-cent per $100 assessed value increase in the school tax, which is apart from the municipal and county assessments.

Business Administrator Steve Brennan said as a result, the owner of a home assessed at $300,000 would see an increase of $15 per month, or $180 for the year.
