Makes $19.45 million supplemental appropriation for increased nonpublic school security aid; modifies budget language to increase per pupil amount.
This bill appropriates an additional $19.45 million from the General Fund to increase security aid for nonpublic schools in New Jersey, raising the per-student funding rate from $205 to $338. School districts will receive funds based on the number of nonpublic school students reported by each district, to cover security services, equipment, or technology. This adjustment increases the total Nonpublic Security Aid budget to $50 million, up from $30.55 million, addressing rising security costs and expanded demand. The funding supports school safety under existing law (N.J.S.A. 18:A58-37.8).
