According to today's NJ Spotlight, the disapora isn't all it's cracked up to be, although New Jersey School Board Assocation's conclusions are based, as yet, on incomplete data and, anyway, it may be too soon to judge the full impact.

In fact, fewer school leaders have left their jobs since the caps were enacted than in earlier years... while the anecdotal evidence tells of respected education leaders making an exodus from New Jersey schools, the association’s data has so far found actually a smaller turnover of superintendents since the regulations were put in place by former state Education Commissioner Bret Schundler, Christie’s first commissioner.
