Prevents State school aid reduction in school districts that experienced decrease in equalized valuation and are located in certain counties.
This bill prevents reductions in state school funding for specific New Jersey school districts. It protects districts in Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth, and Ocean counties (classified as fifth or sixth class) if their property value assessments fall below 2012-2013 levels. The law ensures these districts receive at least the same total state aid they received in the 2017-2018 school year, excluding preschool, special education, school choice, and debt service funds. The measure specifically targets districts still recovering from Superstorm Sandy's property damage.
