N.J. Gov.-elect Chris Christie during his campaign for governor in Whippany.TRENTON — Gov.-elect Chris Christie says he will call for an audit of all school boards when he becomes governor and wants to move school board elections to November.
During New Jersey 101.5’s “Ask the Governor” program on Tuesday, Christie also suggested tying education funding to a reduction of “middle management” in school districts as he looks to cut property taxes and close an $8 billion budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year.
Nearly half of all property taxes, which are the highest in the nation at an average of $7,000 a home, go toward education funding.
