Bill overview
This bill changes how school boards are made up in certain cities in New Jersey. Specifically, it applies to cities using a ‘Mayor-Council Plan’ government and aims to create a board of nine members, with three appointed by the mayor, three by the city council, and three elected by the district’s voters. The bill introduces a phased approach, adding new members to the board over three school years, each serving a three-year term.
