Questions for Gubernatorial Candidates 2009
The Coalition for Special Education Funding Reform has asked each candidate for Governor of the State of New Jersey to respond to four questions concerning special education funding.
The Questions were:
1. In general, what is your vision of education in New Jersey and how does that vision reflect the needs of students with disabilities?
2. With respect to state funding, do you support a census model for funding special education?
3. Do you support a tiered model for funding special education?
4. Would you support a comprehensive study to examine the full costs of special education in New Jersey?
5. What quality indicators do you think need to be measured in special education?
