NJ voters consider school boards, budgets

TRENTON, NJ. - April 15, 2008

Polls are open until nine o'clock tonight.

Last year, voters approved more than 78 percent of the budgets.

Twenty-eight districts are proposing 33 additional ballot questions.

That's the lowest number since the current system of second ballot questions was established a dozen years ago. It is a sharp decrease from last year, when 65 school districts proposed 87 additional spending questions.

Second ballot questions reflect a district asking voters to spend more than state caps allow.
