A 444 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires $1 million annual appropriation to certain educational services commissions for school facilities projects and school security improvements.

This bill requires the state to appropriate $1 million annually from the General Fund to educational services commissions that primarily serve students from School Development Authority (SDA) districts. These commissions currently receive no state funding for school facility upgrades or security improvements, despite having similar needs as SDA districts. The funds must be used for specific facility projects (like construction or renovations) and security measures (such as cameras, emergency notification systems, and access controls).
