Earlier this month, the Atlantic County Office of Education issued a review of Absecon Public Schools' 2022-23 school budget, pursuant to state law.

Highlights from our report include:

• $90K savings in health insurance costs due to contract negotiations
• $220K in projected savings on school busing due to lease agreement
• No disruption of educational programming during COVID-19
• Implementation of various school climate initiatives that have provided students with a voice in the district and fostered emotional wellbeing
• Revamped language arts and math programs with research-based materials, resulting in "exceptional" outcomes for students

We are so proud that the Office of Education has recognized the myriad efforts that our district has undertaken to improve educational and social emotional outcomes while saving money for our residents and taxpayers.
