The Evesham Township Board of Education meeting held on April 28, 2025, focused on budgetary concerns and the impact of recent tax increases on local residents. A key discussion point was the proposal to restore the fund balance while also considering the addition of new staff positions and a significant allocation of $7.5 million for capital projects.

During the meeting, a board member expressed concern about the financial burden on taxpayers, highlighting that their taxes had increased by $1,200 over the past three years. The member pointed out that the proposed budget would lead to an additional $900 increase, raising questions about the sustainability of such financial demands in an uncertain economic climate.

The discussion underscored the broader context of rising taxes not only in Evesham Township but also in the Lenape Regional High School District, which had also seen increases above 2% in the previous year. The sentiment shared by the board member reflected a growing apprehension among residents regarding the cumulative effect of these tax hikes.

As the board continues to deliberate on the budget, the implications of these financial decisions will be closely monitored by the community, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to funding education while considering the economic realities faced by local families.
