Even though the Stafford Township School District portion of the average property owner’s tax bills will increase by more than $200 per year, not a single resident spoke in opposition of the hike at the board of education’s budget hearing on April 30. Nobody spoke in favor of it, either.

Nonetheless, the school board unanimously approved the 2025-26 budget, following a short presentation by Superintendent George Chidiac and Business Administrator Lourdes LaGuardia.
