A 5770 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits application of State aid growth limit on certain school districts in 2025-2026 school year.

This bill prevents New Jersey's standard 6% growth limit on state school aid from applying to certain school districts for the 2025-2026 school year. It specifically affects districts that saw a net decrease in total state aid between the 2017-2018 and 2024-2025 school years. The bill requires the state education commissioner to calculate each qualifying district's uncapped aid (covering equalization, special education, security, and transportation aid) without reducing it to meet the 6% growth cap. This means eligible districts will receive their full calculated aid amount for 2025-2026, rather than having it reduced to comply with the standard growth limit.
