The Long Beach Island Consolidated School District budget was presented virtually April 28 with about 40 members of the public, including staff, participating and focused on what the district hopes to achieve with the financial blueprint, which will raise overall taxes in four of the five member municipalities. However, due to a rise in property valuation, four of the five towns will see a decrease in taxes.

The total 2020-21 tax levy approved last week is $6,738,188.
