ABCs of stimulus: Few teachers' jobs saved by federal aid By RAJU CHEBIUM • WASHINGTON BUREAU •
October 15, 2010
Shore school officials, concerned that federal aid intended to minimize teacher layoffs may be a one-time gift, are reviewing how they would use the money in the next school year.
The $268 million in total federal aid that New Jersey received arrived too late to save all but a handful of jobs this year, but it will pay for some classroom hiring for the 2011-12 school year, officials say.
Many of New Jersey's approximately 600 school districts got a share of the $268 million about three weeks ago, along with advice from the state Department of Education to hold onto the money until next year.
"The decisions regarding layoffs needed to be made in May and June," said Laura Morana, superintendent of the 1,000-student Red Bank public school district, whose share of the funding is $83,000. "We got it (the money) three weeks ago. It was too late."
The $10 billion that Congress and President Barack Obama approved for schools in August, which included $268 million for New Jersey, didn't end education cutbacks. The latest national unemployment report, which covers part of September, showed that school districts across the country cut 49,800 teaching and nonteaching jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The package was supposed to prevent 160,000 layoffs nationwide.
Supporters contend that tens of thousands of additional teachers would have been cut if the money hadn't been approved. A total of 3,900 New Jersey teaching jobs were to be saved.
TParty economics will crush thei country fast.. watch, the GOP will not have anything to do with it, they'll make noises and play games, but hey know better...
and? I beleive Beck knows beter too, but nobody would listen to him if he didn't play the fool.

Our local town police's existance will be on the ballot this year to "save" tax payers some dollars. All they are doing is trying to shift the town police to the county sheriffs dept. This was done a town over from us the prior year.
I will be voting to keep our local police come Nov. 2.
