School funding...
Even though the NJ Supreme Court only 'froze' spending at this year's levels, the decision destabilizes the fiscal situation for Abbott School districts.
Consider this: Contractual obligations and fringe benefits go up at least 4% annually. If state funding remains flat, local districts either have to find the extra money or cut services or staff.
I'll be attending a conference in Princeton today on the issues facing school districts as a result, sponsored by the ETS Policy Information Center
and Rutgers Public Education Institute Forum.
More on all this later. Much more.
