N.J. Legislators Consider Cap Exemption for Special Ed Costs

TRENTON -- The high cost of special education has become the latest point of contention in New Jersey’s drama-filled path toward a new property tax cap.
On one hand, most agree it’s an increasing burden on districts across the state. But do extreme cases need to be excluded from the cap altogether when relatively few districts have sought such waivers as it is?
The Assembly is expected to approve a new 2 percent cap on Monday, when they hold a special session to vote exclusively on the agreement reached between Gov. Chris Christie and Senate Democrats last weekend. The Senate approved the measure by a 36-3vote Thursday.
