New Jerseys Education Commissioner, Lily Laux, advocates for Governor Mikie Sherrills record-breaking $22.5 billion education budget, including a $12.4 billion increase in school aid. Big districts like Paterson and Trenton will receive significant boosts, while lawmakers cap aid drops and hikes to stabilize funding. Tensions rise as districts face financial challenges due to shrinking enrollment and rising costs. Laux calls for real fixes, including better accounting for at-risk students and more transparency. The deadline for budget talks is July 1st, with the goal of easing the squeeze on schools without burdening taxpayers.
