N.J. considers changing school elections criteria
A bill giving New Jersey districts the option to move school board elections to November will go before the state Legislature.
The measure up for consideration Monday also allows school budgets to skip voter approval if they are within the 2 percent property tax cap. Otherwise, voters would have to approve the additional spending.
School elections are now held in April in New Jersey, and all school budgets require voter approval. (Associated Press)
