School Funding Mistake
The State of New Jersey was set to received $400 million in federal funding for education courtesy of the “Race to the Top” funding. This amount would have benefited so many students and teachers as well. Unfortunately, the state didn’t provide the necessary data such as the budget information comparing the 2008 school year to the 2009 school year, so New Jersey lost out on the bid for the massive educational fund. And it was not the last time this happened either.
