Bill Summary
The bill provides a supplemental appropriation from the Property Tax Relief Fund to the Department of Education to provide additional State school aid to: 1) Old Bridge Township School District; 2) Freehold Regional School District; 3) Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District; 4) Millstone Township School District; and 5) a school district in which the school district's equalized property valuation per pupil is less than the State average equalized property valuation per pupil or the school district's income per pupil is less than the State average income per pupil. There are over 100 school districts that are estimated to qualify for additional aid under subsection e. of the bill, including: the New Hanover Township School District, the Roosevelt Boro School District, the Upper Freehold Regional School District, the Jackson Township School District, and the Plumsted Township School District. The intent is to ensure that these school districts receive the same amount of total State aid in the 2021-2022 school year as they received in the 2017-2018 school year.
AI Summary
This bill directs that funds from the Property Tax Relief Fund be used to provide supplemental State aid to specific school districts, ensuring they receive at least the same total amount of State aid in the 2021-2022 school year as they did in the 2017-2018 school year. This additional funding is specifically allocated to the Old Bridge Township School District, Freehold Regional School District, Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District, and Millstone Township School District, as well as any other school district that meets certain financial criteria: either its equalized property valuation per pupil (the total value of taxable property divided by the number of students) is below the state average, or its income per pupil (a measure of the economic well-being of the district's residents) is below the state average. The bill takes effect immediately but will only become active once the fiscal year 2022 appropriations act is officially passed into law.
