March 24, 2011Judge Rules Chris Christie's Education Cuts Violated State ConstitutionNew Jersey has one of the most progressive education laws in the country -- the Abbott v. Burke case produced several rulings requiring the state to equalize public education funding for all students, meaning that poor, urban districts must receive the same relative amount of funding as wealthy suburban districts. Abbott vs. Burke requirements have been characterized as "one of the most remarkable and successful efforts by any court in the nation to cut an educational break for kids from poor families and generally minority-dominated urban neighborhoods."Posted by Jim Zellmer at March 24, 2011 1:52 AM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: ![]() Comments
