Provides additional State pupil transportation aid to school districts that meet certain criteria.
This bill provides additional state aid to New Jersey school districts that meet three specific criteria related to nonpublic school student transportation costs. Districts qualify if they saw over a 100% increase in eligible students over five years, experienced a 20%+ cost jump in one year, and allocated at least 20% of their transportation budget to nonpublic students in 2023-2024. Qualifying districts receive 100% reimbursement for transportation costs for regular education nonpublic school pupils. The bill directly affects districts facing exceptional demographic shifts that strain their transportation budgets, aiming to support constitutionally required educational funding. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
