One School Funding Formula, Different Effects

Most school districts received an increase in state aid this year. However, New Jersey’s school-funding formulas – both the current one and previous versions – have been erratic, at best.  New Jersey contains diverse school districts that face unique issues, and each district is impacted differently by the state’s funding formula. Please join host Ray Pinney as he invites officials from four different school districts from Essex, Union, Sussex and Gloucester Counties to discuss the effect the state’s school-funding formula has had on their districts.  Listeners are encouraged to participate in the program by calling in with their thoughts on school funding.
