The Schools Development Authority, responsible for billions of taxpayer dollars in New Jersey s poorest areas, will be restructured or moved under state control after a political patronage scandal led to mass firings and internal reforms as well as costly lawsuits in the fallout, Gov. Phil Murphy and legislative leaders announced Tuesday.
The unexpected announcement means it could be the second time the authority has been broken up and reconstituted in its two-decade existence.
The first time, under Gov. Jon Corzine, followed news reports showing that what was then the Schools Construction Corporation had mismanaged millions of dollars through poor planning, excessive professional fees and lax oversight.
