LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO GET FEDERAL FUNDING

The State of New Jersey announced Monday that many school districts throughout the state will be dividing $268 million in federal education funding.  The money is coming to the state as part of  a $26 million stimulus package approved by the United States Congress.  More than $2 million in education funding will be coming to Cape May County school districts.  The big winner locally is the Middle Township School District, which will collect over $469,000 in funding.  Other districts who will each get more than $300,000 in funding include Lower Cape May Regional, Lower Township, and Upper Township.  Cape May Point is getting the least, just $974.
