S 4434 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits application of State aid growth limit on certain school districts in 2025-2026 school year.

This bill prevents New Jersey's standard 6% annual growth limit on state school aid from applying to specific school districts during the 2025-2026 school year. It directly affects districts that saw a net decrease in their total state school aid between the 2017-2018 and 2024-2025 school years. The key provision ensures these districts receive their full calculated state aid amount (including equalization, special education, security, and transportation aid) without the growth cap being applied to increases in that total. The policy change applies immediately to the 2025-2026 school year's state aid allocations.
