## Resource

New Jersey lawmakers are pushing two new bills to bail out cash-strapped school districts— one targets schools in protected areas like the Highlands and Pinelands, where land restrictions slash tax revenue, and the other reverses aid cuts for districts spending far below the state average. But critics warn these targeted fixes just delay the real problem: a broken, unpredictable funding formula. While the Senate committee heard from local officials pleading for resources, the chair wants a full state review before acting—hoping for a sweeping fix instead of patchwork solutions.
