What stands out about how Tavistock is run
Read from the borough’s budget and official records.
Haddonfield Borough School District
Tavistock’s K–12 school district, shared with Haddonfield. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $20,243 per pupil, $11,826 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
New Jersey districts overall: 48% local, 46% state, 6% federal.
School year 2023–24. Census Bureau school finance survey.
About $15,600 per resident a year, or $42.74 a day
Day-to-day services only (a Census Bureau estimate). The biggest line: administration & buildings, at 88%.
Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Tavistock collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Tavistock didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
