A 4907 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that unexpended nonpublic textbook aid or aid for Nonpublic Technology Initiative may be used to support services provided under other program.

This bill allows New Jersey school districts to use leftover state funding from one nonpublic school program to pay for services in the other program. Specifically, it permits unspent money from the nonpublic textbook aid or the Nonpublic Technology Initiative to be redirected to the alternative program if the district does not spend the full amount originally allocated. Under current rules, districts must return any unused funds to the state by December 1 after the school year ends, but this legislation changes that requirement by enabling the transfer of funds between the two specific aid categories. The change applies directly to school districts that receive state assistance for nonpublic schools and aims to provide more flexibility in how they utilize available financial resources.
