school fairness formula

While the fight continues for districts losing millions in state aid to get that money back from the state, a trio of New Jersey Legislators have come up with a plan to prevent any cuts, at least for the 2021-22 school year.

Toms River School officials have continued their fight for their future following a school funding formula developed by lawmakers in Trenton that seeks to deal a crippling bow to a number of school districts.

Ocean County 9th District Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove have launched an online petition in opposition to school funding cuts proposed by Governor Phil Murphy in his 2020 State Budget proposal.

The planned fairness school funding formula being proposed by Governor Chris Christie will have unique impacts on every school district and every township municipality should it become a reality, but it could devastate the abbot districts and the towns they're in who may be left scrambling for funds.
