A 685 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that in certain cases vacancy in membership of board of education of limited purpose regional school district will be filled by majority vote of board of education of constituent district represented by former board member.

This bill changes how vacancies are filled on the board of education for limited purpose regional school districts in New Jersey. Instead of the remaining board members voting to fill a vacancy, the bill requires that a vacancy be filled by a majority vote of the board of education from the constituent district (the municipality that originally provided the former board member). This applies specifically to limited purpose regional school districts - formed by multiple municipalities for specific educational services - and does not affect other school district types. The bill amends New Jersey statutes (N.J.S.18A:12-15 and N.J.S.18A:13-11) to implement this change.
