Budget & Taxes (Procurement · Government Transparency)

This bill requires New Jersey school boards to publish financial summaries on their websites, including payroll, total accounts payable, and weekly accounts payable. It also mandates that boards display a user-friendly document outlining major spending categories and vendors selected through competitive bidding. The information must be posted in a prominent, easily accessible location using a format approved by the Commissioner of Education. This measure aims to increase transparency in public school finances by making budget details more visible to the community.
