Coalition Asks Gubernatorial Candidates About Special Education Funding

October 14th, 2009

The Coalition has invited candidates for Governor to respond to a series of questions about special education funding issues. Their answers will be posted to our site by Monday, October 5, 2009.

We asked Jon Corzine (D), Chris Christie (R) and Chris Daggett (I) to respond to these questions:

In general, what is your vision for education in New Jersey and how does that vision reflect the needs of student with disabilities?

With respect to state funding:

1. Do you support a census model of funding special education?
2. Do you support a tiered model of funding special education?
3. Would you support a comprehensive study to examine the full costs of special education in NJ?

Visit the site again in October for their responses.
