Provides additional State pupil transportation aid to school districts that meet certain criteria.

This bill would provide additional state funding to New Jersey school districts that serve a growing number of students attending private schools. To qualify, a district must show a more than 100% increase in eligible students over five years, a more than 20% cost jump for private school transportation in one year, and at least 20% of its transportation budget allocated to these students in 2023-2024. Districts meeting all three criteria would receive 100% state reimbursement for the transportation costs of these students, instead of standard aid levels. The policy aims to help districts facing unusual demographic shifts that strain their transportation budgets.
