Proposes amendment to Constitution to provide that State aid to school districts will be allocated on equal per pupil basis.
ACR 49 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey to fund public school districts equally per student (excluding special education funding). If adopted, this would mandate that state aid for regular school programs be distributed based on the number of students in each district, rather than current varying per-pupil amounts. The amendment clarifies that it does not establish minimum or maximum funding levels, nor does it require funding to be based on prior-year allocations. This change would apply to all school districts receiving state aid for general education programs.
