WHEREAS, Governor Christies 2015-2016 fiscal year budget proposes certain educational funding changes, and
WHEREAS, one of those changes maintains the integrity of charter school funding while continuing to hold flat the amount of state
funding to traditional public schools with no increase for enrollment growth, and
WHEREAS, the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) estimates that the proposal will increase the payments made by traditional public
school districts from their locally funded budget to charter schools by $37.5 million while the budget simultaneously holds the
amount of state funding to those traditional public schools flat with no increase for enrollment growth, and
WHEREAS, this budget marks the seventh straight year of either cuts or flat funding, which, according to the Education Law Center,
results in an accumulated $6 billion shortfall in what the School Funding Reform Act (SFRA) of 2008 calculates is adequate to provide
the teachers, support staff and essential resources for all students to meet the State's Common Core and other academic standards,
including students at-risk due to poverty, language barriers and disabilities, and
WHEREAS, the Hoboken Board of Education is sworn to uphold the constitution of the State of New Jersey that guarantees the
maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of free public schools for the instruction of all children in the State
between the ages of five and eighteen,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Hoboken Board of Education calls upon the Governor and the Legislature to abandon this
2015-2016 budget proposal and choose instead to maintain the integrity of funding for all of New Jerseys public school students by
funding district and charter public schools in strict accordance with Abbott v. Burke, the Charter School Program Act of 1995 and the
School Funding Reform Act (SFRA) of 2008, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Business Administrator / Board Secretary is hereby directed to send copies of this resolution to the
Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie; New Jersey Senate President, Stephen M. Sweeney; New Jersey Assembly Speaker, Vincent
Prieto; New Jersey Senator, Brian P. Stack; New Jersey Assemblyman, Carmelo G. Garcia; New Jersey Assemblyman, Raj Mukherji;
