Well deserved! @RGT_EdD you have been a tireless and relentless advocate for Freehold Boro’s children. Their educational trajectory is changed forever because of YOU!
A very unanticipated outcome following the years of advocacy. My sincere appreciation to the Freehold Borough Board of Education. centraljersey.com/2021/09/17…

Happy #TeacherAppreciationDay to all of our amazing educators helping build a brighter future. This week and every week, we appreciate all your hard work and dedication to helping shape the young minds of this nation. #NationalTeachersAppreciationWeek
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all educators, but especially those in FFAC schools! You have done more with less for over a decade and we're so happy to celebrate YOU and finally give your schools the resources we need to support your amazing instruction!

Point us in the direction of NJ’s Money Tree because we’ve looked and looked and couldn’t find one... #WhereIsIt

They might be LD3, but @NJSenatePres, @Tali43, & #AsmBurzichelli are #1 in our book!!!
Thank you for supporting S2, your LD3 students, and a million students all across the state. We appreciate you!
We could not have gotten the schools in the #ThirdLegislativeDistrict this far without the help of @Tali43 and #AsmBurzichelli. Thank you for your continued partnership.
Kids, administrators, teachers, community advocates, and the man who made it happen! From Gloucester county to Cliffside Park, we thank you @NJSenatePres!
We wouldn’t have fair funding w/o parent advocates like Jennifer Cavallaro-Fromm of @KingswayDragons & @AndreaKatz of #Chesterfield. 1/2

The proof 👇. Thank you @NJSenatePres, @SenMTeresaRuiz, @SenatorLorettaW and @SenJoeVitale who made this day possible!!
Advocates who mobilized the @FairFundingAC & watched tearfully as their children helped vote for #S2 on the Senate floor two years ago. 2/2

#S2 has helped our students and teachers fully live up to the exceptional quality of education in the Garden State.
Shout out to FFAC Founding District @KingswayDragons! Thank you for bringing over 100 districts together to fight for what is fair and equitable. Go Dragons!

YES! Despite this N.Arlington is still under-aided by $1186 PER STUDENT, and Lyndhurst by $447 PER STUDENT. Federal fund distribution must be used to help our neediest learners and cannot be Adjustment Aid 2.0. @NJSenatePres
Two school districts in my District 36 receiving substantial increases in new fiscal year; Lyndhurst increase of $656k and North Arlington increase of $1.37M to address learning loss & to improve their infrastructure healthy buildings @NoArlingtonNJ @LyndhurstMiddle

Chronically underaided districts will greatly benefit from this federal $ in order to curb learning loss and keep faculty and families safe. This is a luxury overaided districts are already able to do without the federal dollars. @NJSenatePres @DrAllenMcMillan
As Chair of Senate Budget & Appropriations Cmtte taking testimony from NJ DOE @DrAllenMcMillan clearly w/ the unprecedented infusion of federal funds; we need to ensure monies being directed to address learning loss, math & healthy buildings; not time for pie in sky new programs

In Chesterfield, this meant a second counselor to assist with over 700 students. In Kingsway, it meant more special ed teachers to ensure compliance. In many communities it meant finally compensating their educators what they deserve!
By making greater fiscal efforts to fund our schools, we have been able to assist in the hiring of more needed staff, made smaller class sizes possible, and ensured competitive wages for our educators. 1/2

...Schools, Districts, Administrators, Teachers, Students, Parents! Keep it up NJ Public Schools!!!
Fair & equitable school aid shows a deep commitment to continuing NJ's tradition of excellence in public education!
@NJEA @NJPSA @NJASANews @njsba
#NewJersey does a good job of dedicating the necessary funding to K-12 #education, but we don’t want to just be good, we want to be the best.

S2 restores the SFRA to what it was intended to be before the political "deal" of adjustment aid: A unitary school funding formula that, in combination with local contribution, allows for every child to receive the thorough and efficient education to which they are entitled.
#S2 allows New Jersey to realize the promise of fairly funding all of the state’s school districts so schools and teachers are supported and able to provide quality education to each and every student. 1/2

FFAC spearheaded changes to the NJSBA's official position on school funding that allowed them to support and lobby for S2. Thank you to @njsba, @DrLarryFeinsod, @jerseyjonesey, @rayPinney, and many others for your time.
The @njsba and others stood with us on #S2 because they knew that our updated #schoolfundingformulawould get properly allocated financial aid into the hands of under-funded districts.

The Fair School Funding Formula has helped lead NJ to continue to have some of the the best public schools in the country; staying on this course will help our state maintain that hard-earned reputation.
This! 👇 A million thanks from the million students in FFAC schools benefiting from your political courage. Thank you for taking on this issue, doing what’s right and implementing S2 with fidelity. We 💗 and appreciate all of it!!! #OurHero
Over the past decade, New Jersey has been on the path backwards in terms of #schoolfunding. However, our efforts to correct the #schoolfunding formula remedied this course and today we are seeing this come to fruition. 1/2

In layman’s terms: There is no money tree.
Even if there was, it’s neither fair nor equitable for these districts to keep $ for students no longer enrolled in their district to avoid contributing towards public education in their communities.
