Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'll start with the good news. The Burden of Proof bill was approved unanimously by the Senate (following an almost unamious vote by the Assembly) and was signed into law today by Governor Corzine! This is excellent news for the disability community, and on behalf of the New Jersey Special Education Practioners (NJSEP), I thank you for enduring all my e-mails and for your support. It could not have happened without you! And now the bad news. The Education Funding Reform bill passed both the Senate and Assembly, though the vote was very close. This is a huge disappointment to the disability community, but we are not giving up! The New Jersey Coalition on Special Education Funding Reform is contemplating next steps and we will keep you posted. Again, on behalf of NJSEP and the Funding Coalition, I thank you for your past support and I hope you will endure a few more e-mails and continue to support the critical effort to obtain a fair funding formula for special education. Again, many thanks for your help! Ruth Deale Lowenkron Education Law Center 60 Park Place Suite 300 Newark, NJ 973-624-1815, ext. 21 973-624-4618 (TDD) 973-624-7339 (Fax) RLowenkron@...
