A 816 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOE to release to school district upon request data and software program algorithms used to calculate State school aid.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education (DOE) to provide any school district with a request the full data, software algorithms, and detailed calculations used to determine state school aid. It directly affects all New Jersey school districts that seek transparency in how their funding is calculated under the School Funding Reform Act (P.L.2007, c.260) and the S-2 funding formula (P.L.2018, c.67). Key provisions mandate the DOE to release all underlying data, proprietary software algorithms, and a district-by-district reconciliation showing how local shares plus equalization aid equal total state adequacy budgets. The bill aims to enable school districts to verify that state aid calculations comply with existing law.
