Christie Will Ensure Special Needs Education Funding Remains in Place

For Immediate Release

Yesterday, Chris Christie visited the Somerset Hills Learning Institute to discuss the importance of protecting special needs education and assistance funding. The education goals of a Christie-Guadagno Administration will be to prepare developmentally disabled students, as well as general education students, for employment and for life. Under a Christie-Guadagno Administration, performance measures will be put in place to make certain that the various departments serving this population, including the Department of Education, the Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and the Department of Labor, are coordinating to meet the goal of integrating these students into life after school.

The 2009 Watchable Wildlife Conference will be held in Avalon/Cape May, New Jersey, October 6-8, 2009.

This Atlantic location offers the opportunity to experience the coastal shoreline of one of the world’s most active flyways and wildlife viewing areas. See first hand how this fragile wildlife habitat is being protected while continuing to offer world-class wildlife viewing opportunities in one of the nation’s most populated regions.

Many of the area’s top wildlife viewing sites are just minutes from the conference center, and offer attendees a hands-on learning experience and the opportunity to learn from regional professionals that have been working in the field for decades.

The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is reminding hunters that the \’paper\’ state waterfowl (duck) stamp has been discontinued. Waterfowl hunters 16 years and older are still required to purchase a state waterfowl stamp, which is now a \”certification\” rather than a paper stamp. The certifications are available from license agents or from the Division\’s online license page at http://www.wildlifelicense.com/nj/ where they can be printed on a home computer. The price of the certification remains $5 for residents and $10 for nonresidents.
