JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — While recent efforts secured much-needed school aid, Sen. Bucco says lasting reform is still needed to ensure the Highlands community receives the long-term funding they deserve.
Senator Anthony M. Bucco (R-Morris, Passaic) says the fight for fair school funding in Highlands communities is far from over.
A leading advocate for Highlands communities in Trenton, Sen. Bucco has fought to ensure the region’s schools are treated fairly despite the state-imposed development restrictions that protect nearly 70% of New Jersey’s drinking water.
While recent efforts secured much-needed school aid, Sen. Bucco says lasting reform is still needed. That’s why he introduced the “Fairness for School Districts in Development-Restricted Areas” Act, legislation that would modernize New Jersey’s school funding formula and ensure Highlands districts receive the long-term funding they deserve.
