GSCS Members: Please note: you will be receiving hard copy of the announcement and invitation letter in the mail later this week. Also, both are attached for improved readability and printing. In addition, we are attaching the full bio for our keynote speaker, who is from California and has much to contribute to the New Jersey dialogue on school funding via his early years in serving in Department of Finance during the Reagan administration, through the experience of the Proposition 13 policy, to providing school management services to districts throughout the state of California and more.

You are invited to participate in a time-critical symposium that will focus on our state’s biggest policy conundrum: an equitable, stable plan for school funding for all and the revenue support required to provide a predictable, workable and reasonable system. Seating is limited.

Dear GSCS Member,

 

We are writing to invite you and interested board of education members and parents in your district to a symposium on school funding that the Garden State Coalition of Schools is co-sponsoring with the New Jersey School Development Council on December 7 at the Douglass Center, Douglass College, Rutgers University. The goal of the forum is to create a venue to stimulate a practical conversation around school funding issues in the State of New Jersey. In turn, a critical outcome of the forum will be to provide ideas that would strongly encourage policymakers to address the need for a stable, workable system of funding our public schools.

 

Garden State Coalition of Schools and the New Jersey Development Council believe that the symposium is well-timed to move this goal forward and we hope you will take the time to join us in this vital effort.  Seating is very limited so we encourage you to get your registration in quickly.   You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your registration.  The link for directions to the Douglass Center at Douglass College is http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~dccenter/.  You will find information on this event, as well as other GSCS activities, at our website:gscs2000@gmail.com.

 

 

Thank you for your support and participation in this important effort. We look forward to seeing you at this important event.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Stuart Schnur                                  Lynne Strickland

President                                             Executive Director
