Provides Supplemental Transportation Growth Aid for school districts in 2023-2024 school year; appropriates $31.6 million.

S 1975 provides New Jersey school districts with additional transportation funding for the 2023-2024 school year, totaling $31.6 million. It allocates money based on student type: $40 per regular education student (including preschoolers in free full-day programs) and $275 per special education student requiring specialized transportation. This supplemental aid is added to existing state school aid, directly supporting districts with transportation costs. The bill specifies the calculation method and funding amount but does not change eligibility rules for transportation services.
