| dc.description | In the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA), New Jersey adopted an unprecedented public education finance formula which connects school funding to the state’s broader adoption of academic content standards and performance assessments. By delivering significantly more resources to students and schools with greater educational and educationally-related needs through a “weighted” formula, the SFRA was intended to not only maintain equitable funding in higher poverty districts, but also to advance equity across New Jersey, solidifying the state's overall high ranking on school funding fairness. This policy brief describes the development and enactment of the SFRA in 2008, and the formula’s implementation through 2013. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the New Jersey formula can serve as model for much-needed, and long overdue, school finance reform in states across the nation. | en_US |
