SCR 30 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment prohibiting any student from being compelled to attend public school other than one nearest to student's residence.

SCR 30 proposes a constitutional amendment to New Jersey's education clause, requiring students to attend the public school nearest their residence within their school district, provided that school offers the student's specific course of study. This amendment would prohibit forcing students to attend schools outside their immediate neighborhood district, directly affecting families and school districts in New Jersey. The proposal must be approved by voters in a general election after being submitted to the public for review. It is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in January 2024.
