Requires certain actions prior to withholding nonpublic school aid for nonpublic school's failure to meet certain health and safety requirements.
This bill (A 623) requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to follow specific steps before withholding state aid from nonpublic schools (like private or religious schools) that fail to meet health and safety standards. It mandates written notice to the school, giving it 60 days (extendable by 30 days) to fix issues, followed by an approved improvement plan with one year to comply. The bill directly affects nonpublic schools receiving state aid by establishing a process for corrective action before funding is withheld, covering requirements like fire inspections, safety drills, and facility certifications. It does not change the health and safety standards themselves but ensures schools have time and support to address violations before aid is impacted.
