Bill > A5546

Introduced Session

This bill allows choice districts to increase enrollment in Interdistrict Public School Choice Programs to offset certain reductions in State school aid. Under the bill, if a choice district experiences a reduction in State school aid due to the provisions of P.L.2018, c.67, commonly known as "S-2," then notwithstanding any limitation established by the Commissioner of Education, the choice district may increase enrollment in its choice program. Thereafter, the choice district would be required to receive school choice aid for each additional student that enrolls in the choice program as a result of the bill. However, the bill provides that the enrollment increase could not exceed the number of students necessary to generate an increase in school choice aid sufficient to offset the reductions in State school aid that resulted from S-2.
