Cape May County — school district funding
Named FY2027 K–12 aid lines, fall 2025–26 enrollment, and 2023–24 actual spend per pupil from the 2025 Taxpayers’ Guide. District unit — not a municipal property-tax rate bar.
Aid year: FY2027 (K-12 state school aid notice, excl. debt service). Enrollment: Fall 2025-2026. Spend: Taxpayers' Guide 2025 release (2023-24 actual total spending per pupil). No later audited total-spending year is published.. Revenue mix: Taxpayers' Guide 2025 Vital Statistics (2023-24). The eight notice lines — equalization, educational adequacy, school choice, transportation, special education, security, vocational expansion, and military impact — are whole dollars and add up to FY27 K–12 aid. Debt service aid is not in that total. Blank cells mean the source file had no figure for that district.
