S 4686 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes method for appointing and electing board of education members of certain school districts.

This bill changes how school boards are structured in New Jersey school districts located in cities of the first class that use a Mayor-Council government system. It requires these school boards to have nine members: three appointed by the mayor, three appointed by the city council, and three elected by district voters at annual school elections. The board will be phased in over three years, adding one of each type of member (mayor-appointed, council-appointed, voter-elected) each school year after the law takes effect. All members serve three-year terms.
