Wayne Township Public Schools avoided layoffs for the 2026-27 school year. The tentative budget totals over $211 million, exceeding $200 million for the first time. However, the district faces significant financial pressures from increasing health benefit costs. Out-of-district tuition and specialized support services also contribute to rising expenses. Local property taxes are projected to increase by approximately $296 annually per average home.
