Summer school in many New Jersey districts may become a victim of this year's tight budgets.
Frank Beluscio, a spokesman for the New Jersey School Boards Association, says about 60 percent of districts in the State may cut programs that are not required by law, and those programs include summer school. He says the summer sessions are valuable in many ways, enabling students to receive additional help to actually pass courses that are required.
Beluscio says tight funding may close many of the summer classes, and students who require them may have to make up incomplete courses with other programs. He says the Association supports legislation to be rolled out in Trenton soon would enable districts to charge a fee for summer classes to keep them going.
