SEOC - Statewide:
Current Campaign:
Fighting to Save Abbott
We are working to save the quality programs and fair funding for our
schools that were mandated by the NJ Supreme Court "Abbott" rulings, as
the
legislature tries to back down from its responsibility to implement
this court mandate.
Our work on this campaign includes our participation in the New
Jersey Education Organizing Collaborative, together with the Abbott
Leadership Institute, the Education Law Center, and the Paterson
Education Fund.
