S 2131 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides Supplemental Transportation Growth Aid for school districts in 2023-2024 school year; appropriates $31.6 million.

This bill provides $31.6 million in supplemental transportation funding for New Jersey school districts during the 2023-2024 school year. It directly affects school districts by allocating additional aid based on two student categories: $40 per regular education student (including nonpublic students) who qualify for standard transportation, and $275 per special education student requiring specialized transportation services. The funding, drawn from the Property Tax Relief Fund, supplements existing state school aid and is calculated using student counts as of October 16 of the prior year. The bill takes immediate effect and requires the Commissioner of Education to distribute these funds.
