PROPOSAL FOR STUDY COMMISSION – State Assemblyman Joe Danielsen talks about his proposal for a school finance study commission during a press conference in the Township Council Chamber on October 23.
A proposed bill that would establish a state legislative commission to look into changing the way schools are funded in the state was announced October 23 by state Assemblyman Joe Danielsen.
Flanked by Mayor Phil Kramer, members of the Township Council and the president of the Somerset County Education Association, Danielsen (D-17) said his proposal, which would create the “School Finance Reform Commission,” would seek to “restore the transparency and order” to school funding and “perhaps move away from the property taxes as the mechanism for funding our schools because today we have an unsustainable problem of too few dollars chasing a growing educational formula.”
