Chris Christie’s school budget cuts are unnecessary, unjustified, and should be discontinued for they are leading to a loss of students’ increased education. While the state of New Jersey is in great debt and money is needed, taking away children’s education is not the way to acquire the money. In the beginning of 2010, Chris Christie announced during an important oration that there will be a multi-billion dollar budget cut from public schools all around New Jersey. By cutting the school budgets, teachers lose their jobs and kids lose their education. For example, in an early situation with a non-profit after-school organization called After 3, Chris Christie announced to close a $2.2 billion state budget gap (Alloway 1). Mark Valli, president of New Jersey After 3, conjectured that this cut was “literally going to put kids back on the street in the middle of the school year, creating havoc for parents” (Alloway 1). In February 2010, it was announced that the state’s poorest districts would lose more money than the wealthier ones. The poor districts are losing more money because they are larger and receive the most state aid. "Students should not be penalized as a result of school administrators acting in the interest of fiscal conservation” said Union City Mayor Brian Stack ("N.J.'s Poorest”). Before leaving office, former governor John Corzine also proposed cutting $300 million in school aid that would have affected the same districts, but to a lesser degree ("N.J.'s Poorest”). The districts with a diminutive amount of state aid to start off with lose the most while many districts lose no state aid at all.

However, the plan to cut school aid to help balance the state budget has a very big impact on individual districts. Laying teachers off in the middle of a school year is undesirable but necessary for schools without surplus. On account of the budget cuts, more and more teachers are be
