New Jersey group asks courts to block state's school funding cuts

From The Newark Star-Ledger: An education advocacy group in New Jersey has filed a legal motion seeking to force the state to abide by the existing school funding formula. The action by the Newark-based Education Law Center on behalf of children in the state’s 31 poorest districts could force the state to restore funding the governor slashed. The Center is asking the Supreme Court to stop the governor's education spending cuts and maintain school funding under a formula the high court upheld last year.
