New Jersey A4390 appropriates $20.2 million for increased nonpublic school security aid, raising per pupil amount to $338.

New Jersey A4390 makes a $20.2 million supplemental appropriation for nonpublic school security aid, increasing the total funding from $30.55 million to $50.8 million. This bill modifies budget language to adjust the per pupil amount from $205 to $338. The increased funding aims to support boards of education in providing enhanced security services, equipment, and technology for nonpublic schools in New Jersey. The rise in costs for essential security equipment and an increase in hate crimes, particularly affecting religious-based private schools, contribute to the necessity of this funding.
