About CCJEF
CCJEF is a broad-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Members include municipalities, boards of education, statewide professional education associations, unions, advocacy organizations, parents, high school students who are at least 18 years old, and other concerned taxpayers.
CCJEF seeks to achieve an adequately and equitably funded PK-12 public education system that is based on the learning needs of students and the real costs of delivering high-quality education in every community.
CCJEF strives to strengthen the fiscal infrastructure of public schooling, in part, by lessening the reliance on Grand Lists and local property taxes, and substantially shifting the funding burden to the state in accordance with its constitutional obligation.
