The state funds about 38 percent of total educational spending in the state, with much of it going to the 31 districts classified as Abbott districts under the law. The Abbott districts were those covered by a series of state Supreme Court and lower court decisions that have ruled that the state had a constitutional responsibility to provide more support to poor districts. <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2007/10/26/cranbury_press/news/doc4721fb513d459273539181.prt" target="_blank">http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2007/10/26/cranbury_press/news/doc4721fb513d459273539181.prt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
