YES! Despite this N.Arlington is still under-aided by $1186 PER STUDENT, and Lyndhurst by $447 PER STUDENT. Federal fund distribution must be used to help our neediest learners and cannot be Adjustment Aid 2.0. @NJSenatePres

Chronically underaided districts will greatly benefit from this federal $ in order to curb learning loss and keep faculty and families safe. This is a luxury overaided districts are already able to do without the federal dollars. @NJSenatePres @DrAllenMcMillan

In Chesterfield, this meant a second counselor to assist with over 700 students. In Kingsway, it meant more special ed teachers to ensure compliance. In many communities it meant finally compensating their educators what they deserve!

S2 restores the SFRA to what it was intended to be before the political "deal" of adjustment aid: A unitary school funding formula that, in combination with local contribution, allows for every child to receive the thorough and efficient education to which they are entitled.

The Fair School Funding Formula has helped lead NJ to continue to have some of the the best public schools in the country; staying on this course will help our state maintain that hard-earned reputation.
This! 👇 A million thanks from the million students in FFAC schools benefiting from your political courage. Thank you for taking on this issue, doing what’s right and implementing S2 with fidelity. We 💗 and appreciate all of it!!! #OurHero

In layman’s terms: There is no money tree. Even if there was, it’s neither fair nor equitable for these districts to keep $ for students no longer enrolled in their district to avoid contributing towards public education in their communities.

"Ok. I think everyone's tired." Assemblymember @MilaJasey with the quote of the decade today.
This is the "report" that contains the highly misleading spending data. njpp.org/publications/r…
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC The data I use is from the DOE. It showed/s clearly that the distribution of state aid is completely capricious. In its worst year, districts went from 10% to 560% aided. NJ's media didn't cover that at the time. What I did was expose the maldistribution, inform BOEs, inform,
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC Density has nothing to do with need and you can't generalize about NJ's cities. In tax base per student, Hoboken is by far NJ's richest district, while Bridgeton (whose population density is lower than my suburb) is the poorest. Jersey City's tax base pp is above average, yet it
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC received state aid as if it were one of NJ's 20 poorest districts. That was illogical. Further, while NJ's budget is fungible and the aid leaving JC is going to PreK and TPAF as much as K-12 opex, the biggest gainers are high-density cities, like Nwk, Paterson, Bayonne etc.
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC Middle-class & affluent districts are gaining relatively little compared to non-gentrified cities. So you don't know what you are talking about and my town of residence is irrelevant to the problems I've exposed and arguments I've made.
@JoshuaParkhurst @stateaidguy @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC Obviously unfamiliar with his work which is fair, balanced, and super data-driven. Why wouldn’t you want evidence based analysis?
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC receives $$ from special interest, then that person's conclusions should be questioned because the person is a paid advocate. Only a hack would oppose redistributing JC's Adjustment Aid given the growth of JC's tax base. You're the hack. state.nj.us/treasury/taxat…
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC Prior to S2, the state aid distribution for the densest towns that you seem to believe deserve priority was incredibly off-formula. East Nwk, Fairview, N. Bergen, Guttenberg, Bayonne, UC, & West NY were severely underaided. Those districts are the beneficiaries of redistribution.
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC If you want towns/districts to have a bonus for density, then fine, but the fact that JC got over $150 m in Adjustment Aid and is also dense is a complete coincidence. Most of NJ's densest districts were UNDERaided. Most of NJ's low-density, rural districts were OVERaided.
@JoshuaParkhurst @ChristopherBFay @CarlySitrin @FairFundingAC S2 passed 10 yrs after SFRA prescribed a 7 yr phase-out of Adj Aid. It's true that Adj Aid was inserted into SFRA to spare the Abbotts (and many other districts), but by the time S2 passed, most of the Abbotts were underaided. But none of this has anything to do w/ density.
@stateaidguy @CarlySitrin He’s the foremost private sector expert on NJ state aid & has been dominating that space for years with his research & analysis @FairFundingAC
“New Jersey’s school-aid law will be underfunded for yet another year, and many school districts are facing cuts. But the new state budget will pay for “re-turfing” a park in Metuchen.”
ICYMI bc I almost did: The New Jersey Department of Education released a draft plan Monday for how the state intends to spend the nearly $2.8 billion it is set to receive under the education portion of the American Rescue Plan. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2021/0…
I thank each of our panelists for joining me this afternoon to discuss our efforts to pursue #SchoolRegionalization in #NewJersey. It is our goal to provide each and every child with a quality education while relieving some of the financial burden felt by our #taxpayers.
I think the tax increase will be hard on some JC property owners whose houses/apartments have appreciated significantly since they bought them, but a $278 million tax levy is only a 0.63% tax rate for JC, which is less than half of NJ's average. @CivicParent @FairFundingAC
@ajpetrosino @CivicParent @FairFundingAC "Similar but different," yes. Hoboken's tax base pp is much, much higher than JC's: $71k pp versus $17.5k pp and Hoboken can produce enormous revenue at minimal tax effort. Hoboken's school spending is well above Adequacy, Jersey City's is well below Adequacy.
