New formula boosts aid to local schools

The governor has unveiled his new state aid formula and it appears that most districts in the state will be receiving something — at least for now. Beyond that, however, it is unclear what the longterm ramifications of the new aid formula will be.

As the Star-Ledger points out in its brief coverage so far, the formula still has to get through both houses of the state Legislature and then pass muster with the state Supreme Court — by no means a guaranteed outcome.

In the shorterm, however, all four of the districts covered by the South Brunswick Post and The Cranbury Press will be seeing increases in aid.
