S 2022 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that certain sending school districts will continue to have representation on certain receiving boards of education despite decreases in enrollment numbers.

This bill allows school districts that send students to Atlantic City School District to maintain a seat on its school board even if their student enrollment falls below the legal threshold. It applies only to sending districts that held representation on Atlantic City's board during the 2022-2023 school year. The exception specifically covers districts sending students to Atlantic City, which receives special state funding, ensuring continued local input on education decisions. The change takes effect immediately and affects no other school districts.
