Bill > S2812

Introduced Session

This bill allows the Commissioner of Education to postpone the comprehensive review under the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC) for one school year for any school district in which a school or schools of the district have been damaged, destroyed, or lost as a result of a disaster or a hazardous weather event. Also under the bill, a board of education seeking to postpone the NJQSAC due to damage to a school building as a result of a disaster or hazardous weather event will pass a resolution directing the superintendent to request the postponement. Upon receipt of the request, the Commissioner of Education will have 15 business days to grant or deny the request. The NJQSAC is the State's monitoring and district self-evaluation system for public school districts. The goal of the NJQSAC is to ensure that all school districts are operating at a high level of performance.
