Makes supplemental appropriation of $3.5 million to provide additional State school aid to Freehold Regional School District.

This bill provides $3.5 million in additional state funding to the Freehold Regional School District to restore courtesy busing transportation services for students. The district had planned to eliminate these services - a savings of $3.5 million - to offset $20 million in state aid reductions since 2019. The funding specifically allows the district to continue providing transportation to students living less than 2.5 miles from school (considered "courtesy" under state law), which affects about 30% of its 10,000+ students. This direct appropriation targets the district’s immediate need to maintain essential transportation amid prior aid cuts.
