PolitickerNJ reports that the Senate Education Committee voted 3-2 this afternoon in favor of S-1861, the bill that would move school board elections to November and eliminate public votes on school budgets that come in below cap. Senator Shirley Turner, who sponsored the bill, said,
Taxpayers want to see some concrete steps taken to eliminate unneeded spending at all levels of government. Switching low-turnout school board elections in the Spring to the November general election will be a win-win for taxpayers and those concerned with local education issues.
Sheesh. If the bill only passed by one vote with the Education Committee, what are the odds of it passing the full Senate? Count on major high-fiving from NJEA, NJSBA, and other lobbyists committed to business-as-usual.
