A 5404 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school district receiving 70 percent or more of revenue from State aid to post certain information concerning out-of-State travel expenditures on Internet website.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts that receive 70% or more of their funding from state aid to publicly post detailed information about out-of-state travel expenses on their websites. Specifically, districts must share travel vouchers, itemized costs for transportation, meals, lodging, and event fees, the number of staff attending such trips, and summaries of each event's title, dates, and purpose. The requirement applies to districts meeting the 70% state aid threshold based on the Department of Education's Taxpayers' Guide to Education Spending. The Commissioner of Education may also mandate additional information. This transparency measure aims to provide clear, accessible details about public spending on travel.
