This was a school board meeting for the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District held on March 25, 2026. The meeting included presentations on new student clubs and recognition of outstanding teachers. The finance committee reported on the district's budget, highlighting a $1.3 million increase in health insurance costs, a $667,000 rise in transportation expenses, and a $2.2 million increase in salaries, contributing to an overall budget increase of approximately $4.5 million. The board discussed the impact of these costs on the tax levy and state aid, with some municipalities seeing tax rate changes.
