Lawyers for parents hope the decision will lead to a change in the state aid formula for the district.
r. The Law Center brought New Jersey’s landmark Abbott V. Burke case four decades ago, resulting in an overhaul of school funding for 30 poor, urban districts where students were found not to be receiving a “thorough and efficient” education required by the state constitution.
“As legal support for her conclusion,” the decision stated, “she compared the above observations with the conditions described in Abbott II, a case concerning stark physical deficiencies in school facilities — students being taught in coal bins, eating lunch in the corridor, and using bathrooms without hot water.”
Lang, a non-practicing attorney who teaches math in the district, filed the petition eight years ago on behalf of students’ families after becoming frustrated with the district’s inaction and state lawmakers’ failure to amend the funding formula.
