To the Editor:
I have been informed recently that $15 million in School Based Youth Services funding has been eliminated by the state to programs in 91 school districts in New Jersey. As I understand it, this will cause the closure of our local office on Sept. 11, 2020. I am writing to, most respectfully, express my opinion that particularly at this time, this is an unconscionable mistake.
I base my opinion on over three decades of direct experience with this program.
