I have been in education here in NJ for 25 years and I can not remember a time when I was more discouraged than I was last night concerning the state of educational funding. The fiscal news the nation faces, and certainly New Jersey as well, is not good. I know we will do our best to make this work without hurting or impacting the students. As we look over the numbers and plug away at calculators we will always keep in mind, as our number one concern, that students are not impacted! They should know that the adults who are entrusted to do what is right for them and what is best for them will never lose sight of the fact that they do come first.
I am not going to kid you. This situation places us in dire straits. But over the next few days, as we once again dissect the financial situation of our school district, we will figure it out! We will do so with the students of Oxford township in mind, always.
Till next time....
