Time to redefine school aid equity
http://www.app.com
The Education Law Center, seemingly dedicated to extracting as much
money as possible from suburban districts and pumping it into
dysfunctional urban districts, is taking the state to court — again. This
time, it is arguing that Gov. Corzine's revised school funding formula
is unconstitutional.
The law center filed a brief with the state Supreme Court last week. We doubt it noted that between 2002 and 2007, the Abbotts received average annual aid increases of 6 percent, compared to 1 percent average aid hikes in New Jersey's 585 other districts. And the aid to the Abbotts continued to pour in despite sharp drops in enrollment and ample evidence that much of it was squandered and yielding little in the way of improved academic performance.
