What Would NJ Schools Lose from Sequestration?

According to the Courier-Post, this is the list of education cut if the U.S. Congress fails to come to a budget agreement by Friday:
• About $11.7 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting about 160 teacher and aide jobs at risk.  
• About $17 million in funds for about 210 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities.  
• Aid to help about 1,480 low-income students finance the costs of college as well as work-study jobs for about 650 students.  
• Money for Head Start and Early Head Start services for about 1,300 children.
