The new school year upon us, NJ Spotlight wants to hear what’s on your minds as kids, teachers, and administrators head back to school. New teacher evaluations are finally here, and public debates abound on funding and testing.

For countless families and educators, the start of the school year brings promise, opportunity, and possibility — as well as its share of nerves. We want to know what this special time means for you — personally or politically, or both. In a week or two we’ll share your responses with the rest of the community.
