A 1082 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides emergency State school aid to certain school districts located in historic communities.

Bill A 1082 provides emergency state school aid to specific New Jersey school districts facing closure due to state aid cuts. It directly affects districts located in municipalities listed on historic registers, with only one federally built school building (which would revert to federal control if closed), high student achievement, and financial risk from reduced state funding. The bill requires districts to apply annually, and the Commissioner of Education must provide aid equal to the exact amount of state aid reduction threatening the school's operation. This aid aims to prevent closure, protecting both students and the community's historic legacy. The program covers the 2019-2020 through 2024-2025 school years.
