A 479 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides emergency State school aid to certain school districts located in historic communities.

This bill provides emergency state school aid to specific New Jersey school districts located in historic communities that meet strict criteria. It directly affects districts with a single school building originally built by the federal government (which would revert to federal ownership if closed), located in municipalities listed on historic registers, and demonstrating high student achievement. To qualify, a district must show that state aid reductions under P.L.2018, c.67 have put its sole building at risk of closure, harming students, community quality of life, and historic legacy. If approved, the Commissioner of Education provides aid equal to the exact amount of the state aid reduction that triggered the risk. The aid applies to the 2019-2020 through 2024-2025 school years, requiring annual applications.
