Good morning. It’s Amy with Chalkbeat New York.

If New Jersey’s current debate over school funding sounds familiar to New York readers, it should. We’ve extensively covered Albany’s education funding fights and the recent changes to the Foundation Aid formula. Now, across the Hudson River, state education leaders and Gov. Mikie Sherrill are opening up New Jersey’s 2008 School Funding Reform Act for its first major overhaul in nearly two decades. Our colleagues in Newark have the latest on what could change in their district.

And be sure to join us on Thursday: Our team from Chalkbeat and our friends from The City Reporter will present tips from our story on how to vet public schools at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Branch on Oct. 15, from 6-7 p.m., in person and live-streamed. RSVP here.

Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
