S 735 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases sending district representation on receiving district's board of education in certain circumstances.

This bill modifies representation rules for school districts that send students to another district (sending districts) on the receiving district's school board. Currently, a sending district gets one voting representative if its students make up 10% or more of the receiving district's enrollment in relevant grades. The bill adds that multiple sending districts collectively reaching at least 10% (but none individually qualifying) can secure one voting representative with board approval, or one non-voting representative if they fall below 10%. This directly affects sending districts with smaller but combined student enrollments in receiving districts.
