What stands out about how Tabernacle Township is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Lenape Regional School District

Tabernacle Township’s high school district, shared with Evesham Township, Medford Lakes, Medford Township, Mount Laurel Township, Shamong Township and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Tabernacle Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Tabernacle Township didn’t report all of its 2023 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $272,000; interest on debt $769,000. With these, the whole budget was $4.8 million.
About “Other”.27% of Tabernacle Township’s day-to-day spending ($1 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
