175 school districts received a cut to their State Aid for 2025-26. 135 of those received the maximum cut allowable under Governor Phil Murphy's budget - 3% (across the categories of equalization, transportation, special education, and security aids).

47 school districts (8%) across the State of New Jersey received cuts in their State Aid in both 2024-25 and 2025-26. 53% of those districts are located in South Jersey.

Does NJ's school funding have a geographic bias?

Th State of New Jersey's current approach to special education funding assumes a one-size-fits-all rate, allocating resources as though 15.9% of students in every district require special education services.

This assumption is far from reality.
