S 4312 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Modifies method of allocating State aid for providing auxiliary and remedial services to nonpublic school students.

This bill (S 4312) changes how New Jersey allocates state funds to school districts for providing auxiliary and remedial services (like speech correction and academic support) to students attending nonpublic schools. It requires districts to calculate aid based on fixed rates per service type: $990.73 for initial evaluations, $297.06 for annual reviews, and $786.70 for speech correction, plus $752.41 for supplementary instruction. Districts receive 10% of the estimated annual cost on September 1st and monthly thereafter, must refund unspent funds by December 1st, and can request additional aid if needed. The bill directly affects school districts, nonpublic schools, and their students by standardizing funding calculations and payment schedules.
