Matawan-Aberdeen Regional school district election facts, candidates
Published in the Asbury Park Press 03/20/05
MATAWAN-ABERDEEN REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
THE STAKES: Three three-year terms (two in Aberdeen, one in Matawan). Residents will vote on a $56.9 million budget that will be funded through $43,085,980 in local property taxes, and if passed, the budget would increase the school's tax rate by about 17 cents to $3.39 per $100 of assessed of property value in Aberdeen, and by 8.7 cents to $3.11 in Matawan. For the owner of an Aberdeen home assessed at $140,000, this would represent a calendar-year increase of roughly $238. The owner of a Matawan home assessed at the same price would pay about $122 more in school taxes.
