The record-high approval rate was not as monumental as it would have been in the past, since more than 90 percent of New Jersey’s districts have moved their school board races to November. Under the law passed two years ago, districts holding elections in November are no longer required to put budgets to a vote if they stay within the 2 percent cap.

Stay tuned for exact details on the budget. See it here first.
