Supplemental appropriation of $3.5 million to Freehold Regional School District for continued courtesy busing.

This bill allocates an additional $3.5 million to the Freehold Regional School District from the Property Tax Relief Fund. The funds aim to offset the loss of courtesy busing services, which the district plans to discontinue due to a $20 million reduction in state aid over several years. The district, which serves over 10,000 students across six high schools, will use the funds to maintain transportation for students living more than 2.5 miles from their school. The bill takes effect immediately.
