Requires certain school districts to receive additional State aid for certain State school aid reductions from previous school years; authorizes appropriation.

This bill (A5856) requires New Jersey to provide additional state aid to school districts that experienced State school aid reductions exceeding 3% of their prior year's funding during the 2020-2021 through 2024-2025 school years. It directly affects eligible school districts by compensating them for past funding shortfalls, calculated using specific aid types: equalization, transportation, special education, security, and adjustment aid. The state will fund this through an appropriation from the Property Tax Relief Fund to the Department of Education. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
