Chris Christie may be saying students are pawns for teachers, but it appears the truth (at least so far) is the voters are pawns for Chris Christie.
On the results that have been counted so far I have yet to find a budget that was approved. Even in cases where the taxes were not increased or only slightly increased and staff cuts occurred to make up the 5% reduction in state aid it appears the budgets were rejected.
It makes me wonder what, if any, budget would have been approved.
I'm still hopeful for better results as more towns report.
I should also mention - I am not a member of the NJEA and I don't have any children. I am, however, trying to protect the value of my property which I believe is largely driven by the quality of schools in the area.
I am also all for cutting budgets where there is waste. I am simply against blanket cuts without even understanding the details.
