S 2959 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires second enrollment count for determining State school aid.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts to use two annual enrollment counts instead of one when calculating state school aid. Specifically, districts must average their student enrollment on the last school day before October 16 and the last school day before February 2 each year. The bill specifies which students should be counted (residents enrolled in public schools, home instruction, shared-time vocational programs) and excludes certain groups (preschool students, post-graduate students). This change affects all school districts receiving state aid, as it alters how their funding is calculated based on student enrollment data throughout the school year.
