Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Comprehensive Educational Improvement and Financing Act (CEIFA) is unconstitutional as applied to the special‑needs districts because it fails to provide parity funding, adequate supplemental programs, and necessary facilities improvements. The Court ordered the State to provide parity funding, implement whole‑school reform, early‑childhood programs, and to address facilities deficiencies, and it remanded for further implementation.
