A 1180 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Defines a day in session for purposes of a school district's receipt of State school aid.

This New Jersey bill (A 1180) defines what counts as a "day in session" for school districts to qualify for state school aid. It specifies that a valid session day must include at least six hours of school with students under teacher guidance (except for kindergarten-only schools, which are exempt from the hour requirement). The change raises the current standard from four hours (per existing regulations) to six hours for most schools. School districts must meet this requirement to receive state aid, as failing to do so could result in withheld funding.
