WHEREAS, the New Jersey State Constitution calls for every public school child to receive a thorough and efficient education; and
WHEREAS, State school funding is a vital source of revenue in order to provide a thorough and efficient education to all public school children throughout the State; and
WHEREAS, every effort should be made to ensure that there is a fair, equitable distribution of State Aid to each and every public school child; and
WHEREAS, the most recent state school funding did not factor in a fair distribution for every public school child, wherein, school districts who had declining enrollments, received the same State Aid as they had received the previous year when districts with increasing enrollment and, therefore, more children, still receive the same State funding level.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and Committee of the Township of Jackson urge our State Legislators to take into consideration a school district’s enrollment when determining State Funding for the upcoming 2003-2004 school year; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all future inequities that have resulted in the most recent school funding for years 2002-2003 be addressed and corrected to ensure that each public school child receive their fair share of State School Aid in the future
