Hello! My name is [your name] and I’m a [parent/student/teacher/resident] from Haddon Township, NJ, zip code 08108. I’m calling to express my distress that in the upcoming budget, Haddon Township School District received a funding cut of over $800,000 or over 8%, which will lead to reductions in education services, programs, opportunities, and staff.
In addition to reconsidering these funding cuts, I am asking the Governor to require the Department of Education to provide the sources of the numbers used for our district’s Local Fair Share funding calculation, and require the Department to reimburse Special Extraordinary Aid at the rate laid out in State Statute.
I am also asking for the Governor’s support in passing S1410 and A3798, which would eliminate the outdated census-based method for estimating special education costs, and S1986 and A4003, which would establish a task force to review and update the school funding formula.
I’m sure you will agree that education is an investment in our future, and we must ensure that every child receives the resources and support necessary to thrive and succeed. These budget cuts harm students and educators in 140 communities across our state, including in Haddon Township.
Thank you for your time.

Hello! My name is [your name] and I’m a [parent/student/teacher/resident] from Haddon Township, NJ, zip code 08108. I’m calling to express my distress that in the upcoming budget, Haddon Township School District received a funding cut of $800,000 or over 8%, which will lead to reductions in education services, programs, opportunities, and staff.
I am asking for the passage of S3072, which would provide additional state aid to districts who received funding cuts.
I am also asking for the passage of Senate Bill 1410, which would eliminate the outdated census-based method for estimating special education costs and instead use actual district special education classification rates to determine funding allocations. In Haddon Township, this would lead to us recapturing more than $1 million additional dollars of funding annually.
Thank you for your time.

In addition to reconsidering these funding cuts, I am asking for the passage of Senate Bill 1986 to establish a task force to evaluate the funding formula, in particular the Local Share component. The Local Fair Share calculations have proven to be unpredictable and unstable. It’s unclear how the numbers used in the formula are determined or where they’re coming from, which makes anticipating and forecasting them impossible.
