 Student Population – 1848 (including 1470 Leonia students, 352 Edgewater students, and 26 students from other districts)  Staff – 322 (including administrators, professional staff, teacher assistants, clerical staff and custodians)  Includes 51 Leonia residents who work full time and an additional 34 Leonia residents who work as subs and/or coaches

The proposed budget ensures that the School Community of Edgewater and Leonia will continue to operate at a high-performing level in a cost-conscious economic time and anticipates substantial progress and growth. We remain a prudently managed public resource that is supportive of community interests and responsive to the individual needs of families and their children.

 To balance this budget, we...  Reduced teaching staff by 1.9 FTE  Reduced administrative staff to accommodate Curriculum Director’s role  Supported operating budget with revenue once dropped to surplus  Purchased one-time supplies/equipment from surplus funds rather than from the operating budget  Expensed “potential” out-of-district placements to surplus  Accommodated contractual obligations and projected contract settlements
