Supreme Court rejects bid to end Abbott District case


The Star-Ledger is reporting that the NJ Supreme Court has rejected the state's bid to end the Abbott v. Burke case, under which spending on education in the 'special-needs' districts is monitored and prescribed by the court (see story here).

Corzine will now have to justify the state's proposed new school spending plan to a special master appointed by the Supreme Court.

Tuesday's ruling is an embarrassment for Plainfield Assemblyman Jerry Green, who angered many last January by voting to back Corzine's plan to dismantle the Abbott schools.
