Gov. Christie may not sign the bill that gives school boards, municipalities, and residents the option of moving school board member elections to November and bypassing budget votes on budgets that come in below the state-mandated 2% cap.
According to the Asbury Park Press, Gov. Christie prefers legislation that would move all elections to November and that the current bill allows “special interests” to “pressure school boards and municipalities not to move the election.” Also, “[a]dministration officials have quietly expressed concerns about the logistics and costs of holding two sets of school elections, not to mention the inconsistencies that could confuse voters.”
