New Jersey Public Schools are under attack. They are underfunded, crumbling and lack the support they need to provide a “thorough and efficient” education.

If you're not even going to mention a man who was charged with domestic violence — whose charges were dropped only because the victim didn't show up to court — being politically rehabilitated by the dominant Democratic machine, what is your mission?

Whole thread When will you force @wearetrschools to raise taxes? Did you forget the law doesn't allow an increase above 2%? What about the kids that are stuck? @GovMurphy @vingopal @pamlampitt1 @PaulASarlo @AswPintorMarin @NJSpotlightNews @NewJerseyDOE @EdLawCenter @usedgov
So my district has been losing school funding for 10+ years. This year it is staggering, $14.4 million when expectations were we would lose $2.8. We don’t, and can’t, tax enough to pay LFS in the flawed school funding formula for NJ.

What does losing 200 positions at @wearetrschools look like? Will these students get T&E? @GovMurphy

“…incorporating the state aid cut into the 2023-2024 budget would result in another 200 lost positions, Citta said.” Who is going to run all these programs for the kids then?

https://t.co/N9PxrMfzMV found homes in higher-performing districts received 26% more views than the average listing. Even more surprising? Those homes were 42% more popular than homes in lower-ranked districts,

Did you know? School district impact on property values can influence home prices and home buying trends. It’s back-to-school season and we can’t think of

Assembly ed committee hearing testimony from Olga Polites of the NJ chapter of @MediaLitNow on a bill to require k-12 students learn info literacy: "Otherwise, the students in K to 12 education today are going to turn into those adults who use NyQuil to marinate their chicken."

Funding? Did the law come with funding?
A new law signed Monday by Gov. Phil Murphy requires all New Jersey public school districts to create threat assessment teams starting in September.

Ditching edTPA is literally the low-hanging fruit of all policy choices for addressing teacher shortages. No one wanted this garbage when it was instituted. If NJDOE wants a performance-based assessment, they could follow what NY has done. @GovMurphy

The Start Strong mandate is designed to tell parents that local public schools are failing their children. There is no option to report a grade level score (impossible because grade bands NJSLS) NJDOE knows only grades 2, 5, 8, and 12 will have been exposed to all standards.

Public funds for education must support public schools, which are open to all children and accountable to the community: https://t.co/DTYL0QyvNG

The Start Strong Assessment was designed to tell parents that local public schools are failing. It is theft of instruction from students that are subjected to far too many standardized tests in a state that does not have grade level standards. NJDOE provides grade band standards.
Start Strong back to start NJ school year Read all about it and then refuse to allow your kid to test https://t.co/vHN3mgvFlD via @NJSpotlightNews

New Jersey’s announcement that the state’s Start Strong test is back in September has sparked some criticism and pushback.

Let’s end EO253, shall we? We’re testing healthy, symptom free educational staff because they opted to make their own medical decision. $267 million in federal funds allocated for mandatory Covid testing. @FrankPallone can we stop the BS now?

Hey NJ people. It's budget season, and if history is any guide the Legislature will try to shove some new, controversial bills through with as little notice as possible. So if you know of any efforts like this, please DM me about it.

@millvillesuper @EdLawCenter @wishtdream @vingopal @pamlampitt1 @NewJerseyDOE @GovMurphy We need a functional NJDOE. Until then, lack of compliance just gets a shrug.

@wishtdream @vingopal @pamlampitt1 New Jersey DOE Regulation 6A:13-3.1: class size in districts with more than 40% student poverty "shall not exceed" 21 students in K-3; 23 students in grades 4 & 5; and 24 students in grades 6 through 12. Let's hold @NewJerseyDOE & @GovMurphy accountable to enforce!

Congratulations to @leoniehaimson of Class Size Matters, who has spent 20 years pushing for legislation to reduce class size in NYC and amassing research to show that it is most effective reform for neediest kids. Now the bill is passed. Sign it, @govhochul.
