Requires certain actions prior to withholding nonpublic school aid for nonpublic school's failure to meet certain health and safety requirements.
This bill requires New Jersey's education commissioner to provide written notice to nonpublic schools before withholding state aid for failing health and safety standards. Schools must fix issues within 60 days (with a possible 30-day extension) or develop a one-year improvement plan approved by the commissioner. Only after these steps can the commissioner order aid withholding or direct the State Treasurer to withhold it. The bill applies to nonpublic schools receiving state aid and covers specific health/safety requirements like fire inspections, asbestos management, and facility certifications.
