A 746 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain school districts to receive additional State aid for certain State school aid reductions from previous school years; authorizes appropriation.

This bill requires New Jersey to provide additional state aid to school districts that experienced State school aid reductions exceeding 3% of their prior year's funding during the 2020-2021 through 2024-2025 school years. It calculates the extra aid as the total amount of reductions above that 3% threshold, using specific funding categories like equalization aid, transportation support, special education funding, security grants, and adjustment aid. The Department of Education must fund this through an appropriation from the Property Tax Relief Fund. The policy directly compensates affected school districts for past aid cuts without requiring new legislative action for each district.
