Statewide School Funding Outreach Effort

“The State of New Jersey is proud to stand alongside our local school districts in funding the nation’s best public schools, which remain the foundation for economic and social mobility in our country and the best place for our kids to get their shot at a better life.

“At its most basic level, the State’s current formula’s student-centered focus gets that part of the question right. We should be, and are, making sure the funds are steered to the students and communities that need them most. It is my hope that, regardless of what changes come, that principle should hold.

Turning Commitment into Action

Ignoring addiction doesn’t save money. It simply sends the bill somewhere else — to taxpayers, first responders, hospitals, courts, and law enforcement. That’s why investing in recovery isn’t just compassionate — it’s one of the smartest public safety investments we can make. From Congress to Camden County, Donald Norcross, Lou Cappelli, and Jon Young are proving that the strongest response to addiction isn’t built around one program or one policy — it’s built on making sure help is available wherever and whenever it’s needed.
