It s no secret that many schools across New Jersey are underfunded when you consider what should be doled out based on the state s formula.
But in a report released Wednesday, Garden State residents get a glimpse of the real consequences for students and their futures when schools don t get enough funding to educate New Jersey s youth.
Overall, according to the report from New Jersey Policy Perspective, students in highly funded schools enjoy more curricular offerings and more experienced teachers than students in schools that are not adequately funded.
Underfunded districts, meanwhile, are likely to employ fewer staff members per student, according to the report, which used New Jersey Department of Education data.
