New Jersey A4228 requires the State to reimburse school districts for costs of transporting homeless students.

New Jersey A4228 mandates that the State reimburse school districts for the costs of transporting homeless students. Currently, school districts bear the responsibility for these transportation expenses. This bill shifts that financial burden to the State, ensuring that districts are compensated for the costs incurred in transporting homeless students to and from school. The reimbursement applies to students who remain in their district of residence or those who temporarily reside in another district.
