New Jersey’s education commissioner has told the state’s school districts that they should freeze all nonessential spending for the rest of this school year.
Commissioner Lucille Davy, in a recent letter to school districts, said it’s unclear how much state aid will reach local districts for the 2009-10 school year.
Aid to local districts makes up about one-fourth of the state’s overall budget, which is now facing cutbacks.
