Requires Office of School Facilities in DOE to establish program to replace roofs and HVAC systems in certain school buildings; appropriates $500 million.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education to create a program replacing roofs and heating/cooling systems in school buildings that are 75+ years old, owned by school districts, and used for instruction. It appropriates $500 million to a dedicated state fund for these projects, with work conducted by state-employed or contracted licensed professionals. School districts may submit recent evaluations instead of new ones, and projects will be prioritized by the Commissioner of Education based on student safety needs. The state covers all costs, including inspections, evaluations, and repairs.
