Welcome About NJEA NJEA Leadership and Staff Classroom Close-Up ... Hot Links Paying for college: Keep your child's options open As New Jersey's public school employees, we encourage every student to view education as a life-long process. And about eight out of 10 public school graduates in New Jersey continue their education after high school. We know, however, that formal higher education can be costly. The average cost of attending a public four-year college (tuition, room and board, books and other expenses) is more than $8,000 per year*. If your child has the desire and ability to continue his or her education, don't allow a lack of funding to rule it out. Many families have given up such opportunities because they assumed a student wasn't needy enough or outstanding enough to qualify for financial assistance. Be sure to explore all of the options. Chances are, regardless of your circumstances, your child is eligible for some type of financial assistance for higher education. In addition, get an early start. For a student enrolling in college in the fall, you should begin applying for financial aid between January 1 and March 1 of that year. *1998-99 estimate Types of assistance Generally, there are three types of financial assistance for higher education:

Charter Schools - Definition and Specifics Definition History Specifics Types of Charter Schools ... Standards Definition The basic charter school concept is encompassed in the idea of " autonomy for accountability ". Charter schools are public schools of choice that are granted a specific amount of autonomy (determined by state law and the local charter) to make decisions concerning the structure, curriculum, and educational emphasis of the school. In return for this autonomy, charter schools are held accountable for the academic achievement of the students in the charter school, and the school faces suspension or closure if accepted performance standards are not met. The charter school typically receives between 85 percent to 95 percent of the public school funds for each student enrolled. Most charter schools are newly established schools, but some are conversion schools-those that previously existed as either public or private schools. Charter schools are as likely to have minority enrollments as other public schools. Charter schools do tend to be smaller than other public schools. Other than these similarities, there are few other generalizations that can be made about charter schools. The variety of curriculum focus is extensive-the sky does not limit the creative endeavors of charter school developers and operators. History of Charter Schools Minnesota was the first state to establish legislation allowing for the creation of charter schools in 1991. Since then, 34 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have enacted some variation of charter school legislation. As of September 1998 there are more than 1200 charter schools that exist in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
