New Jersey: Is A Storm Brewing Over School Elections
http://www.njsba.org
Have you ever been sitting outside enjoying a perfect summer day at the beach or a family picnic, basking in the sun’s warmth, when suddenly the wind picks up, clouds darken and a rainstorm hits? As you scramble for cover, you wonder whether this is just a passing storm or if it is here to stay, ruining your day. After the recent school election, when 75% of the district budgets passed, many board members were feeling good about their district, but I suspect a storm is on its way when the legislature comes back in session. The storm I see brewing is over school board elections. It may happen as quickly as a summer squall and catch some off guard. This is not a new issue; it comes up almost yearly. In fact, provisions concerning school elections were originally part of the CORE Bill (A4) that passed last year, but were removed in the final stages.
