Makes supplemental appropriation of up to $20 million from General Fund to DOE to support school facility cleaning and sanitization.
This bill appropriates up to $20 million from New Jersey's General Fund to the Department of Education specifically for school facility cleaning and sanitization. It directly affects public school districts, charter schools, and nonpublic schools that receive a written health directive from the New Jersey Department of Health or a local health officer to close due to potential COVID-19 exposure (starting March 9, 2020). Funds cover disinfectants, cleaning supplies, and increased personnel costs for enhanced cleaning schedules. The Commissioner of Education must establish an expedited application process and allocate funds based on student enrollment across all eligible schools.
