The evidence is quite clear, it does help students from any economic strata.

It's going to help make the students feel more connected to the school.

This would help those students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to be in these courses, and it will support them and monitor their progress.

The people of New Jersey do have a history of supporting public education. So despite the problems with state budgets and property taxes, I do think we will see a majority of budgets approved by voters.

When the taxpayers are burdened, you hear about the property tax rate and not the programs the schools are providing.

It means higher property taxes, period. . . . Whether funding is flat or slightly reduced, it's the community that has to make up for the difference.
