@GovMurphy Number one but not for long. Your cuts are going to cost me my job, my kids spirts and clubs, and my students kindergarten. #wearetomsriverschools
Superintendent Healy reminds us "there are 110,000+ residents and 76,500+ registered voters in the greater Toms River area." We're happy to have the support of @jimholzapfel & District 10. We hope other #NJ legislative districts support their students. #SOS#StopStateAidCuts
... no further reductions be made to state aid allocations until a joint legislative committee be convened that includes reps from @NewJerseyDOE & school districts to investigate the critical flaws in the formula and modernize the 2008 version to reflect 2019. (3/4)
We appreciate that both @DrLRepollet & @GovMurphy recognize that the formula is flawed and needs to be modernized, which is why @nj_sos sent a letter to the entire legislature, the commissioner of education and Governor Murphy requesting that ... (2/4)
During his 3/27/18 confirmation hearing, @DrLRepollet echoed @GovMurphy's budget address sentiments, acknowledging that the existing state funding formula is flawed, & he committed to working with stakeholders to “modernize” the funding formula to address gaping needs. (1/4)
Our first bus to Trenton is filled with students, school board members, maintenance staff, principals, the Toms River Education Association President, and Superintendent David Healy. Talk about a unified effort! Right, @nj_sos? #WeAreTRschools#SOS#StopStateAidCuts
Let's give our kids the same opportunities we had. I grew up in TR, now I'm a teacher here with my own kids in the district. Fair funding for all! @nj_sos#WeAreTRschools#SOS#StopStateAidCuts
Legislators need to #StopStateAidCuts, convene a bi-partisan joint committee of educational stakeholders, determine the negative impact on students resulting from flaws in the funding formula, address those flaws & devise a plan that supports educational funding for all students.
Superintendent David Healy has the ears and mics of reporters - like @NBCNews and @FOX29philly - who want to know why a school district that's $30 million under adequacy is losing $80+ million. 🤔 #SOS#StopStateAidCuts
Wendy please help us at Toms River Schools @WendyWilliams We deserve fair funding and not cuts! Why should our kids lose teachers, sports and busing?! The State of NJ is not treating us fairly! We need your voice and strength!!! #sos@nj_sos@NewJerseyDOE@njdotcom@FoxNews
