ALERT!
'Super' County Superintendent on Monday's Senate Agenda
On Monday, Feb. 5, the state Senate may act on a new version (S-19) of
legislation to create "super" executive county superintendents.
Thanks to your previous efforts, we not only held off action on this proposal,
but also successfully eliminated a provision that would have moved school board
member elections to the partisan November election.
It's time to act again.
S-19 would affect every local school district in New Jersey.
The bill would .
· Give a politically appointed state official sweeping powers over
local school district budgets.
· Eliminate savings school districts have already achieved.
· Affect school district grade organizations and boundaries.
The bill would not save property taxes
Take action now .
1. Call, e-mail and fax your state Senator as soon as possible, and urge your
Senator to vote against S-19!
To find your state Senator's contact information, consult the NJSBA Legislative
Directory or visit the NJSBA Legislative Action Center online.
2. Call Senate President Richard Codey at (609) 292-5215 to express your
opposition to S-19.
Remember .
· S-19 will not reduce property taxes. It will hurt our children's
education.
Thank you for taking action!
Sincerely,
Edwina M. Lee
Executive Director
