Joint Legislative Committee on Public School Funding Reform

**MEDIA ADVISORY**

SCHOOL FUNDING REFORM JOINT COMMITTEE TO VOTE ON FINAL REPORT MONDAY

TRENTON - The Joint Legislative Committee on Public School Funding Reform is scheduled to meet on Monday to vote to approve the panel's final report and recommendations, which include setting the framework for a new school funding formula in the State of New Jersey and establishing accountability benchmarks to safeguard education dollars.

The Committee will meet at 2:30 PM on Monday, November 27, 2006 in Committee Room 11, 4th Floor Statehouse Annex in Trenton.
The meeting comes after months of hearings on school funding reform and educational mandate issues. The Committee held nine meetings, two public hearings, and took testimony from 143 witnesses in the course of its work. After Monday's meeting, the Committee will help craft legislation from its recommendations, and will be an instrumental part of the legislative process in getting those bills adopted by both Houses.
