Funding Coalition submits paper 'Beginning Discussions on School Funding Reform'
Resolving the school funding crisis will be a very daunting task. The educational community as represented by the Leadership for Excellence in Education Group (LEE) which includes the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA), New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association (NJPSA), New Jersey Association of School Business Officials (NJASBO), New Jersey Association of School Administrators (NJASA), New Jersey State Parent Teachers Association (NJPTA), in cooperation with the Garden State Coalition of Schools (GSCS), and the Education Law Center (ELC) has developed this paper as a starting point for future discussions about the development of an equitable school funding formula that is fair to property taxpayers and provides sufficient resources to school districts. This paper will explain why a new funding formula is needed, suggest some principles for a fair and equitable formula, and recommend a process that might be used to develop a new school funding formula.
