NJ gov’t plan to merge half of all school districts — Yours on list?
How much do New Jersey’s small-town residents like their local school district? That might be put to the test in the months ahead.
Among the far-reaching proposals made by the workgroup organized by Senate President Steve Sweeney is one that would require K-6 through K-8 districts to merge into K-12 school systems – a change that would impact districts that enroll 21 percent of New Jersey public school students.
Nearly three in five districts aren’t K-12, and they enroll around 294,500 of the state’s 1.37 million public school students – approximately 208,000 elementary and middle school kids, plus 86,000 in regional high schools.
Scroll to bottom of article for a full list of school that would be affected.
Rutgers University professor Ray Caprio says the recommendation is mostly about better education – that more and varied programs could be offered that are now out-of-reach for small systems.
“The goal is primarily improving school districts, although we would note that over time there should be some cost savings and efficiencies,” said Caprio, who said the proposal isn’t about trimming back teachers’ salaries or reducing jobs.
Panelists on the task force said they don’t know how much money the change might save, though they figure there would be some savings.
But former state education commissioner Lucille Day said that’s not the biggest reason to do it. She said K-12 districts have a more coordinated curriculum, seamless calendars and better opportunities for students.
“Although I think there are certainly economic benefits from regionalization, I think more importantly there are educational benefits for the state’s children and for the state’s economic well-being,” Davy said.
Davy says even if school districts reorganize, individual local schools would stay open.
“It’s really important to emphasize that the idea of regionalization is not to consolidate schools and close schools all across the state,” Davy said.
“It wouldn’t be that you’d close down all the small elementary schools and, you know, build one elementary school that all those children in that regional district would attend. You would keep the local schools,” she said.
Changes from a move to K-12 districts would apply unevenly around the state.
The biggest impact would be in Hunterdon County, where the elementary and middle schools in 26 municipalities feed into five regional high schools. Ninety-three percent of the county’s students are enrolled in districts that aren’t K-12.
The restructuring would also affect the districts that enroll 49 percent to 57 percent of students in Warren, Monmouth, Burlington, Cape May and Sussex counties.
There are also counties where mandating that there be only K-12 districts would have practically no impact. All students in Mercer County already attend schools in K-12 districts, and 3 percent of kids or less attend such schools in Hudson, Union, Middlesex and Essex counties.
Separate from the K-12 mandate, the report from the workgroup also suggests allowing two counties to volunteer to create countywide school districts. Caprio said the state should pass a law allowing it and providing incentives to counties that want to consider it.
“There are places in New Jersey, counties, where this would not work,” Caprio said. “However, there are others – I’m not going to put a number but if I had to, maybe four to six counties – where it would be viable.”
Last school year, across New Jersey, more than 986,000 students were enrolled in K-12 districts – averaging 4,400 students in those 224 districts.
Around 208,000 students are in more than 270 districts that don’t include high schools that would have to merge. Many would presumably merge into the existing 45 regional high-school districts, which currently enroll 86,000 students and exist primarily to serve the same towns that have K-4, K-5, K-6, K-8 and K-9 districts.
Another 86,600 students are in unique schools that would presumably be unaffected by any district consolidation plans – roughly 49,500 in charter schools, 28,700 in vocational school districts, 4,650 in special services districts and 3,850 in “renaissance schools” in Camden.
