GOVERNOR CHRISTIE'S FY14 BUDGET: ANOTHER YEAR OF CUTS TO NJ PUBLIC SCHOOLS

March 21, 2013

"In his proposed FY14 State Budget, Governor Christie continues to pursue his objective of cutting funding to New Jersey public schools far below the levels needed for children to achieve academically, as established in the state's landmark school funding formula – the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA).

In testimony to the Senate Budget Committee on March 20, Education Law Center warned legislators that the Governor’s school aid proposal for FY14 is so inadequate that it doesn’t even make up for the loss resulting from the Governor's massive cut in FY11, especially for districts with growing numbers of at-risk and bilingual students and students with disabilities.

ELC also warned that the Governor’s proposal, if adopted, would mark the fourth straight year of either funding cuts, flat funding or minimal aid increases and that this pattern is undermining New Jersey's longstanding commitment to providing all students the resources necessary to achieve the State's academic standards, regardless of where they live or in which public school district they attend school."
