Establishes task force to examine leasing for nonpublic school facilities to school districts for purpose of implementing programs for which districts lack facility space.

This bill (A1634) creates a five-member task force to study leasing nonpublic school facilities to public school districts for programs they cannot accommodate due to space shortages. The task force includes the Commissioner of Education and four appointed members representing school boards, administrators, realtors, and the Catholic Conference. It will examine factors like availability of unused space in nonpublic schools, potential joint programs across districts, and how the Department of Education could coordinate such arrangements - focusing on programs such as preschool and kindergarten. The task force must issue a report with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within six months.
