ACR 22 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes amendment to Constitution to provide that State aid to school districts will be allocated on equal per pupil basis.

ACR 22 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey to fund public school districts (excluding special education) with equal per-pupil state aid. This would change current funding practices where aid per student varies significantly between districts. The amendment specifies the state would not be required to set minimum or maximum funding levels for districts. If approved by voters, it would amend the state constitution to mandate this equal per-pupil funding approach for general school support.
