Additional state funding will be allocated to a future year's budget.
The Freehold Borough Board of Education agreed Monday to defer additional state aid to either the 2012-2013 or 2013-2014 budget. Gov. Chris Christie announced an increase in funding for all school districts in the state last week. Business Administrator Patrick DeGeorge spoke to those in attendance at Freehold Learning Center Elementary School about the benefits of deferring the aid for the future.
