NJASA Commends Governor Murphy’s “State of Opportunity”

NJASA Executive Director Dr. Richard G. Bozza

NJASA applauds Governor Phil Murphy for his commitment to public education. During his fifth State of the State address on January 10th, Governor Murphy highlighted the accomplishments of his administration’s efforts to make an essential difference in the lives of New Jersey’s school children. Most notably was the inclusion of $9.9 billion in classroom aid in the FY 2023 budget.

Since his administration took office, a total increase of more than $2 billion has been invested in our public schools to take further pressure off of property taxpayers.

The Governor’s prudent actions, many that NJASA has long championed, continue to advance excellence in the learning environment, which has been the driving force of the Association’s support of the Governor’s initiatives to improve and enhance the quality of public education in New Jersey.

NJASA looks forward to continuing to work with the Governor and his administration, and school and community stakeholders as we promote the pathways to “The State of Opportunity” – a world-class education for our students and the entire school community.

In the 2023 State of the State Address, Governor Murphy Shares Vision for Shaping the “Next New Jersey.”
