A 2526 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain requirements concerning charter school financial reporting and prohibits charter school from contracting with for-profit charter management organization.

New Jersey bill A 2526 prohibits charter schools from contracting with for-profit charter management organizations (CMOs), requiring all CMOs to be nonprofit. It mandates that charter schools annually submit detailed budgets - including all revenues, expenses, and in-kind contributions - to the Commissioner of Education for review. The bill also requires schools to post simplified budget summaries online and make annual audit reports public, including financial details about CMOs and their donors. These provisions aim to increase financial transparency for charter schools and their management organizations.
