A 5152 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits unexpended nonpublic school textbook aid or aid for Nonpublic Technology Initiative to be used to support other program.

This bill allows school districts in New Jersey to use leftover state funding from one nonpublic school program to pay for expenses in the other program. Specifically, it permits unspent money designated for nonpublic school textbooks to be used for the Nonpublic Technology Initiative, and vice versa. Currently, districts must return any unused funds to the state after the school year ends, but this legislation would let them apply those funds to the alternative program first. The change aims to provide districts with more flexibility in managing their budgets for these specific educational services.
