Lawsuit says New Jersey is dragging feet on emergency school repairs

April 26, 2012
Advocates for needy districts say facility repairs are being neglected

From The Newark Star-Ledger: A lawsuit contends that the state of New Jersey has failed to quickly approve or deny requests for emergency repair work at dozens of dilapidated schools across the state. The complaint, filed by the Education Law Center, alleges that evaluations of requests made by 31 of the state’s neediest districts have ceased, preventing leaky roofs, broken heating systems and crumbling brick facades from ever being fixed.
