Assembly Education Committee hearing, 9-16-10, 2 pm in Committee Room 11
In addition to agenda items (see NJ Legislature website), the committee will also hear a bill that disallows districts from charging fees for extracurricular activities. GSCS has opposed this bill in the past; due to extreme aid cutbacks that have forced districts to find additional revenue resources, GSCS will continue to oppose such legislation. FYI - Sensitive to equity issues, it is the common practice that districts apply 'means tests' in order to determine families' ability to pay fees.
