County story angles
These angles group the strongest generated district first-read leads inside Gloucester County. They are meant to turn the county brief from a rank list into local assignments: what looks reportable, which district reports carry the proof, which records to pull next, and which shortcut to block.

Comparative cost per pupil is NJDOE's published measure. Operating revenue and high-level use shares use proposed operating budget as the denominator unless noted. UFB planning enrollment can differ from fall enrollment on district profiles. Side-file counts summarize indexed latest-year rows, not audited financial statement totals.
