New Jersey School Officials Blame State for Fiscal Problems.
Byline: Maia Davis
Apr. 30--This is how one North Jersey school official reacted to Governor McGreevey's proposals Thursday to restrain school spending: He laughed.
"How does he come up with these things?" Fair Lawn School Board President Dan Zino said of the governor's education proposals.
Zino said McGreevey failed to address the real problem of inadequate state education funding leading to property tax increases.
"The bigger issue is finding a better way to fund schools," Zino said.
Education advocacy groups agreed that McGreevey's proposals -- such as setting a cap on annual increases in district spending -- miss the point of why school taxes are rising.
"State decisions, not local policies, are the major cause of New Jersey's property tax problems," Edwina M. Lee, executive director of the New Jersey School Boards Association, said in a statement.
