26-27 Budget Development
Budget Update and Path Forward
Our Roadmap to Solutions
Robbinsville Public Schools is implementing a multi-step plan to address the deficit responsibly and collaboratively:
We are gathering broad input from families, staff, and residents through surveys and public discussions. Your feedback helps us understand community priorities as we evaluate options.
The district is reviewing all departments to identify efficiencies—such as optimizing transportation routes, analyzing staffing models, evaluating contract services, and reducing non-essential expenditures.
We are exploring opportunities to responsibly increase revenue, including grants, shared services, facility rentals, and long-term financial planning strategies.
Throughout the process, updates will be posted on this webpage, shared at Board of Education meetings, and sent directly to families to ensure the community remains informed.

Feedback from the Community
To ensure that our decisions reflect the priorities of the families and residents we serve, we are launching brief community surveys, based on your role within the district; student, parent, staff member, and resident . The purpose of these surveys is to gather your input on potential cost-saving measures and revenue-generating ideas, as well as to better understand what programs, services, and values you believe must remain protected. Your voice matters. The feedback we receive will directly inform the options we bring forward as we work to address the deficit in a way that is transparent, sustainable, and aligned with our community’s expectations.
The surveys can be accessed using the links below. Please select the appropriate survey based on your role within the district.
