Requires school districts to include environmental sustainability plan in long-range facilities plan.
This bill (S 215) requires New Jersey public school districts to include an environmental sustainability plan within their existing long-range facilities planning process. Specifically, it amends current law to mandate that districts update their facilities plans every five years to incorporate "environmental sustainability goals" alongside enrollment projections and safety assessments. The policy directly affects all school districts required to submit long-range facilities plans to the state commissioner. This change integrates sustainability considerations into routine infrastructure planning without creating new standalone requirements.
