Bill Summary

P.L.2018, c.67 (C.18A:7F-67 et al.), commonly referred to as "S-2," stipulates that State school aid to certain school districts will be reduced in accordance with a schedule detailed in the law. Under section 4 of P.L.2018, c.67 (C.18A:7F-68), two groups of school districts are not subject to State aid reductions: 1) SDA (former Abbott) districts that spend below adequacy and are located in a municipality in which the equalized total tax rate exceeds the Statewide average; and 2) non-SDA districts that spend below adequacy by at least 10 percent and are located in a municipality in which the equalized total tax rate exceeds the Statewide average by more than 10 percent. This bill provides that any school district that is spending below adequacy will not be subject to State school aid reductions under P.L.2018, c.67.

AI Summary

This bill provides that any school district spending below adequacy will not be subject to State school aid reductions under the existing law, P.L.2018, c.67 (commonly referred to as "S-2"). The current law stipulates that certain school districts spending below adequacy and located in municipalities with high tax rates are exempt from these aid reductions. This bill expands that exemption to include all school districts spending below adequacy, regardless of their location or tax rate.
