Modifies calculation of preschool education aid for certain school districts.

Introduced·6/8/26
Introduced Text

Modifies preschool education aid calculation for certain New Jersey school districts.

This bill modifies the calculation of preschool education aid for school districts first receiving such aid in the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. It exempts these districts from the current cost-sharing methodology, instead providing increased aid based on total program enrollment and costs. The bill also allows districts to recertify their tax levy if the change is equivalent to the local share of preschool education costs. The aid calculation formula and preschool quality standards are maintained. This act takes effect immediately.
