State Funding Formula #1: Why Is This Topic So Important?
New Jersey's funding formula for public schools is based on a per-pupil funding model. The state provides a certain amount of funding for each student enrolled in a public school. The amount of funding a school receives is based on the number of students enrolled and the type of school they attend.
Why special education is so important to local schools' financial stability There are a number of reasons why special education is so important to local schools financial stability. First, special education students often require more resources than general education students. This can include things like additional staff, specialized equipment, and adaptations to the learning environment. All of these things can add up to significant additional costs for a school district.
In addition, special education students often have higher rates of absenteeism and dropout. This can lead to a loss of funding for a school, as well as a decrease in overall student achievement. Finally, special education students are often more likely to require costly services after they leave school. This can put a strain on local resources, as well as on the families of these students.
Busing and its related costs #2: What is courtesy busing vs State funded busing routes?
Courtesy busing is a type of busing that is provided by a school or district to transport students to and from school, usually at no cost to the family. State-funded busing routes are bus routes that are funded by the state government in order to provide transportation for students who live in areas that are far from the school or who have special needs.
The cost of busing is typically split between the state and local district, with the state picking up a larger percentage. In most cases, the local district will cover between 20 and 50 percent of the cost, with the state picking up the rest. However, there are some instances where the local district will cover the entire cost of busing.
In an effort to desegregate public schools and provide all students with an equal opportunity to receive a quality education, the state of New Jersey has implemented a busing program that requires all school districts to bus students to schools within a 2-mile radius of their homes.
This policy has been controversial, with some parents arguing that it is disruptive to their children's education and daily routines. However, research has shown that busing can be an effective tool for reducing segregation and improving educational outcomes for all students.
Vocational Schools #3: Are we ready for the future of our kids?
As the cost of college increases, many students and their families are looking for ways to save on the cost of education. One way to do this is by attending a vocational school.
Vocational schools offer training in a specific trade or profession. These schools can be a great option for students who know what they want to do after graduation. Vocational schools typically have shorter programs than traditional colleges, which can save students time and money.

Early Childhood Care and Pre School #4: Do we have the resources for growth?
The cost of an Early Childhood program to local taxpayers would be minimal. The benefits of the program would far outweigh the cost. The Early Childhood program would provide quality care and education for young children. It would also create jobs and boost the local economy.
The cost of the pre-school program to local taxpayers in New Jersey is $6,800 per year per child. The state pays $4,400 per year per child.
Shared Services impact, the Good and Bad #5: What's the point of shared services and regionalization?
There are both good and bad aspects to New Jersey regionalization and shared services on local schools. On the positive side, regionalization can lead to increased efficiency and effectiveness in how school districts operate. This can in turn lead to cost savings for taxpayers. Additionally, shared services can help school districts to better utilize resources and manpower.
On the negative side, regionalization can sometimes lead to a loss of local control over schools. Additionally, shared services can sometimes be difficult to implement in a way that is equitable for all school districts involved.
There are a number of reasons why the state of New Jersey has mandated that local schools share services. One reason is to save money. By sharing services, local schools can avoid duplicating costs and can save money on things like administration, transportation, and special education.
Another reason for the mandate is to improve efficiency. When schools share services, they can better coordinate their activities and make better use of resources. This can lead to improved student achievement and better use of taxpayer dollars.
Finally, the state of New Jersey believes that shared services can help to close the achievement gap between high-performing and low-performing schools. By sharing resources and expertise, local schools can better meet the needs of all students and help to close the achievement gap.
