The Daily Record argues that New Jersey School Board Association's proposal to eliminate budget votes this year because of the tight calendar is a violation of democracy.
Gina Genovese, Executive Director of Courage to Connect NJ, writes in New Jersey Newsroom, "Before our state is forced to declare bankruptcy and our business base relocates to more affordable areas of the country, we need to make sweeping changes now. Let’s begin the conversation about how best to consolidate our municipalities and end the legacy of waste that has our state teetering on the brink."
Schools boards are struggling to sell their budgets to the public without state aid numbers, reports the Star-Ledger.
