Overview
This bill makes several changes to New Jersey’s school funding laws and the Educational Adequacy Report. It establishes a Special Education Funding Review Task Force and amends the 1996 school funding law (P.L.1996, c.138) and the 2007 law (P.L.2007, c.260) to clarify how cost of living is calculated, how aid is distributed to districts, and how pupil counts are used in determining funding levels. The bill also aims to improve the transparency of school funding calculations by requiring the Department of Education to publicly release aid formulas annually.
