Acting Governor Richard J. Codey's State of the State Address
School Safety
If we have one priority for the year ahead ... it will be the safety of our school children. If there is one thing we must all focus on ...
it is the protection of our schools. So a security checklist will be created ... and security experts will visit every school before classes start next fall. Federal homeland security officials will come to New Jersey ... to host courses on school security. And to bring the best ideas from New Jersey and the nation together in one place ... Rutgers has agreed to host a forum on school security this spring.

Financial Aid
The state will forgive up to $20,000 dollars in student loans ...
for any college graduate who works in a state, county, or non-profit mental health or social service agency.
