6-5-06 Editorials on school funding & State Budget articles
The link between property taxes and school funding is inextricable. Extraordinary aid for special education is practical property tax relief and symbolically serves to show that Trenton gets that link...GSCS continues to advocate for property tax relief in FY07 via special education extraordinary aid, a category of aid that has not met its promise(by law) since 2003. The critical importance of this aid is two-fold: not only does it saving taxpayer dollars, it is also helps all of our students programs - regular as well as special needs. Because the need for programs for children whose costs exceed $40K at any given time is unpredictable, this aid also helps keep districts from 'falling off the edge of the cliff' during the school year.....

article covering GSCS Annual Breakfast Meeting 5-31-06 'Frustration flares over suburban school funding'

Under the state’s budget crisis, it hasn’t been a good year — make that couple of years — for New Jersey’s suburban schools, and the frustrations showed today when top state officials came calling before many of the local leaders...It was the Garden State Coalition’s 15th annual meeting since the group was formed to give voice to specifically suburban districts. The group has since grown to a membership of 125 districts, and with full-time executive director Lynne Strickland, it has become one of Trenton’s most active lobbying forces on education issues, especially around funding.
