S 1410 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates use of census-based funding of special education aid in school funding law.

Bill S 1410 eliminates the use of U.S. Census data in calculating state funding for special education. The bill changes New Jersey's school funding law to remove census-based metrics from the formula determining special education aid. Instead, funding will be based on projected pupil counts from prior years, not current Census data. This directly affects all school districts receiving special education aid by altering how their state funding is calculated.
