Education Issues for the Non-Educator – Understanding School Budgets and School Funding in 2011

Those who are not familiar with school budgets receive many questions from citizens, such as, How are priorities set? What are a school district’s fixed costs? How does state aid affect property taxes? Host Ray Pinney will be joined by a panel of experts who will address these questions and other submitted by parents. The panel includes Michael Kaelber, director of NJSBA’s Legal & Policy Services Department; Dr. Valerie Goger, superintendent of the Bernards Township School District; and James Edwards, business administrator of the Brick Township School District.
