Requires Commissioner of Education approval for publicly funded out-of-State travel by school district employees and board of education members of certain school districts.

This bill requires prior written approval from New Jersey's Commissioner of Education for publicly funded out-of-state travel by employees and board members of school districts receiving 70% or more of their revenue from state aid, as reported in the Taxpayers' Guide to Education Spending. It applies specifically to school districts meeting this funding threshold, directly affecting their superintendents and board members when planning such travel. The key mechanism mandates that superintendents must obtain the Commissioner's approval before seeking internal board approval for employee travel, and school boards must get the Commissioner's approval before seeking majority board approval for board member travel. The bill does not alter existing rules for districts below the 70% state aid threshold.
