Senator Doherty's Fair School Funding Plan - Presented at February 21, 2012 Town Council Meeting

The Scotch Plains Fanwood Tea Party commends the Scotch Plains Town Council for passing a resolution supporting Senator Michael Doherty’s Fair School Funding Plan.  Senator Doherty has introduced a constitutional amendment, which if passed, would give the students in Scotch Plains and Fanwood more state school aid.  According to the Senator’s website, our school district would receive nearly $39 million more in state school funding, providing welcome tax relief for residents of our community!   It is a win-win proposition!

We are pleased that Mayor Nancy M. Malool has asked Senator Doherty to present his plan at the February 21st, Town Council Meeting.  We encourage residents to attend to learn more about this important legislation and the positive impact it would have for our town.  The meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m., on Tuesday, February21st, in the municipal building at 430 Park Avenue, in Scotch Plains.

Passing a resolution sends Trenton the message that we support the Fair School Funding Plan; however, there is still more to do to make this a reality.  Visit our website,  http://spf-teaparty.org/Home ,  and learn what steps you can take to bring this to fruition.
