Overall, the numbers will look familiar for most districts, and not for a good reason.
TRENTON -- New Jersey school districts on Thursday learned exactly how much state aid Gov. Chris Christie proposes giving them in his 2018 budget.
For most districts, the figures will look all too familiar.
About 85 percent of the state's 578 school districts won't see any increase in direct aid if Christie's final budget proposal doesn't change.
The flat funding for most districts comes even as Christie touted yet another record investment in education funding, $13.8 billion. The bulk of new education spending will go toward the teacher's pension and annuity fund or debt service payments, leaving districts to generate their own new revenue.
"The fiscal stability of school districts is now in greater peril," said Richard Bozza, executive director of the New Jersey Association of School Administrators.
Some schools may still see a change in their state aid before the final budget passes. Christie, a vocal opponent of the state's school funding formula, challenged lawmakers Tuesday to a work with him on a new plan in the next 100 days.
Democratic lawmakers, though, said they would want any changes to be phased in so school districts aren't left scrambling.
"The school funding formula is not a disaster," State Senate President Stephen Sweeney said Tuesday, responding to Christie's criticism. "We're not doing a new formula."
