A 2965 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes educational service agencies for procuring custodial and food services in schools and ensures certain employee rights for affected employees.

This bill establishes county-level educational service agencies that will centrally procure custodial and food services for New Jersey public schools. School districts using private contractors for these services must join the county agency, which will negotiate master contracts through competitive bidding. The bill protects affected employees by guaranteeing recall rights and seniority retention if displaced by the new system. It requires school districts to follow specific procedures, including public hearings and collective bargaining, before joining the agency. The agencies will operate as cooperative purchasing entities to potentially reduce costs while safeguarding employee rights.
