Bill > A5883

Introduced Session

This bill provides that by March 1, 2025 and every five years thereafter, the Commissioner of Education is to recommend to the Legislature the economic and school facilities adequacy criteria to be used in the designation of school districts as SDA districts and a list of the school districts that meet the criteria for SDA designation. The economic criteria may include: equalized valuation per resident pupil; district income per resident pupil; and the municipal overburden, as defined by the commissioner, of the municipality or municipalities in which the district is situate. The bill stipulates that in the case of a school district that was designated as an SDA district prior to the bill's effective date, but loses its designation as an SDA district after the bill's effective date, the district will continue to receive 100 percent State support of the final eligible costs of any school facilities project that was in the design or construction phase prior to the district losing its SDA designation.
