Modifies method of allocating State aid for providing auxiliary and remedial services to nonpublic school students.
This bill (A 1201) revises how New Jersey allocates state aid to school districts for providing auxiliary and remedial services to students attending nonpublic schools. It requires districts to report annually the number of eligible nonpublic students needing specific services (like evaluations, speech correction, or supplementary instruction), using fixed dollar amounts per service type (e.g., $990.73 for evaluations). Districts receive 10% of the estimated annual cost monthly, must refund unspent aid by December 1, and can request additional funds. The bill was withdrawn after another bill (P.L.2025, c.252) was enacted to address the same issue.
