CRYAN: COURT'S SCHOOL FUNDING DECISION 'ABSOLUTE VICTORY' FOR NEW JERSEY'S KIDS
By droseman
(TRENTON) - Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (D-Union) - chairman of the Assembly Education Committee - released the following statement after learning of the state Supreme Court's ruling upholding the school funding formula and validating the approach of providing aid to children in every school district:
"The Court has handed down an absolute victory for New Jersey's school children.
"The Legislature and Governor Corzine made a promise to ensure every child has access to a quality education, regardless of where they live. Now that promise can be fulfilled.
"To those who have spent their lives opposing our efforts, the time has come to focus on improving educational outcomes for all children across the state and not on dollars, cents and lawsuits that have divided New Jersey for a generation."
