Bill > A3637

Introduced Session

This bill eliminates the authority of the State Board of Education to place a school district under full or partial State intervention under the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJ QSAC), the State's system of monitoring school districts. The bill also provides that any school district that is under partial or full State intervention on its effective date will be returned to full local control within one year of that date. Within four months of the bill's effective date, the board of education of a district that has not had the governance component of school district effectiveness returned to local control prior to that date will call a special election to place the question of district classification as either a Type I or Type II district before the voters. The district will then be governed by the provisions of law concerning Type I or Type II districts as applicable.
