• Audit questions how millions were spent in Newark schools. GOP says it's no surprise. (gothamist.com) — A new state audit of Newark schools is fueling a broader debate over how New Jersey distributes school funding, with Cherry Hill mentioned as an example of districts whose needs differ from heavily funded cities.
