NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS v. BRET SCHUNDLER, Commissioner of Education of the State of New Jersey A-2101-08T2

NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS v.

BRET SCHUNDLER, Commissioner of Education of the State

of New Jersey

A-2101-08T2 08-03-10

Plaintiffs challenge regulations adopted by the

Commissioner of Education in 2008 entitled "Fiscal

Accountability, Efficiency and Budgeting Procedures," N.J.A.C.

6A:23A-1.2 to -22.15. We reject the argument that the

regulations are an impermissible taking, unconstitutionally

vague, a violation of equal protection and ultra vires. We

agree, however, as opposed to N.J. Ass'n v. Davy, 409 N.J.

Super. 467 (App. Div. 2009), that certain of the regulations

violate the tenure statute, N.J.S.A. 18A:28-5, and are thus

invalid.

Judge Grall concurs in part and dissents in part.
