In Search of Excellence for All: The Courts and New Jersey School Finance Reform.

Goertz, Margaret; Edwards, Malek

Journal of Education Finance, v25 n1 p5-32 Sum 1999

The New Jersey Supreme Court has significantly redefined the state's constitutional obligation to poor, urban children--providing a "thorough and efficient" education geared to a post-industrial economy. Measures have shifted from expenditures to provision of resources to meet state curriculum standards. The problem: ensuring adequate resources for nonurban districts. Contains 51 footnotes. (MLH)
