Proposes constitutional amendment prohibiting any student from being compelled to attend public school other than one nearest to student's residence.

ACR 19 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey public schools to allow students to attend the school nearest their home within their district that offers their specific courses. It would prevent schools from compelling students to attend schools outside their neighborhood district unless the home school provides the same classes. If approved by voters, this change would override current school assignment policies statewide. The bill, currently under review by the Assembly Education Committee, has not yet advanced to a vote.
