A preliminary look at the Salisbury Township School District's 2013-2014 budget shows a potential $1.2 million gap between revenue and expenses in a $31 million spending plan without a tax increase.

Board also agrees to a plan to loan Apple laptops to students in grades six through 12.
The Salisbury Township School Board unanimously approved a $30 million final budget on June 15 for the 2011-2012 school year, as anticipated. Referring primarily to a reduction in revenue from the state, Superintendent Robert Gross said at Wednesday's board meeting, “Many school districts for years to come will find this a challenging atmosphere … It will certainly be a ‘do more with less’ situation.” Gross said he had the opportunity to talk to state legislators and state education officials this week about the trying times that school boards throughout the state are going through. “Make no mistake,” Gross said. “The goal is to increase charter schools and to make education competitive, much like a commodity instead of a civil liberty.” …
