STATEMENT
This bill provides a supplemental appropriation from the Property Tax Relief Fund to the Department of Education to provide additional State school aid to: 1) the Millstone Township School District; 2) the Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District; 3) the Freehold Regional School District; and 4) a school district in which the school district's equalized property valuation per pupil is less than the State average equalized property valuation per pupil or the school district's income per pupil is less than the State average income per pupil.
There are approximately 100 school districts that would qualify for additional State aid under subsection c. of the bill, including the New Hanover Township, Old Bridge Township, Roosevelt Borough, Jackson Township, and Plumsted Township School Districts. The intent is to ensure that these school districts receive the same amount of total State aid in the 2019-2020 school year as they received in the 2017-2018 school year.
