Provides supplemental appropriation from Property Tax Relief Fund to DOE to provide additional State aid to certain school districts.
This bill provides additional state funding from the Property Tax Relief Fund to the Department of Education to ensure certain New Jersey school districts receive at least the same total state aid in the 2021-2022 school year as they did in 2017-2018. It directly affects four named districts (Old Bridge, Freehold, Manalapan-Englishtown, Millstone) and over 100 other districts meeting specific criteria, such as having below-average property valuation or income per pupil. The key mechanism requires the state to supplement aid for qualifying districts to match their 2017-2018 funding level. The bill takes effect immediately but depends on the 2022 budget being enacted.
