Restricts Commissioner of Education's authority to reject school district's budget proposal.
This bill amends the New Jersey Education Law to restrict the Commissioner of Education's authority to reject a school district's budget proposal. Specifically, the commissioner can no longer reject a budget proposal based on the fact that the proposal includes a general fund tax levy or total general fund budget that is less than the amount included in the prior budget year. The commissioner retains the authority to direct budgetary reallocations and programmatic adjustments when necessary to ensure implementation of thoroughness and efficiency standards.
