Bill Summary
Under current law, in order to receive its State school aid, a school district must be in session for at least 180 days during the preceding school year. This bill defines a "day in session" as a day on which the school is open, students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher engaged in the teaching process, and is not less than six hours. The bill specifies that the six-hour requirement will not be applicable to a school that enrolls only kindergarten students. Under current State Board of Education regulations at N.J.A.C.6A:32-8.3(b), a school day consists of not less than four hours.
AI Summary
This bill defines a "day in session" for the purposes of a school district's receipt of state school aid. Under the bill, a "day in session" is a day when the school is open, students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher engaged in the teaching process, and the day is not less than six hours, except for schools that enroll only kindergarten students. This changes the current state regulation, which requires a school day to consist of at least four hours. The bill specifies that this new definition will first be applicable to the calculation of state aid for the 2015-2016 school year.
