• Substantial Tax Hike Proposed for Pemberton School District in Tentative Budget That Preserves Teacher Aides, Cafeteria Workers (pinebarrenstribune.com) — Pemberton Township Schools are proposing a 26% school tax increase on both Pemberton Township and Pemberton Borough to cover soaring health insurance, utilities, transportation, and tuition costs while keeping classroom aides and cafeteria workers in-house. Residents, staff, and local officials packed a March 26 board meeting, blasting the steep hike, questioning administrative spending, and warning that privatizing support staff would betray community values ahead of an April 30 budget hearing.
