New Jersey S4281 modifies preschool education aid calculation for certain school districts.

New Jersey S4281 modifies the calculation of preschool education aid for school districts first receiving aid in the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. These districts will receive increased aid based on total program enrollment and costs, exempting them from the current cost-sharing methodology. The bill also allows these districts to raise their local tax levies without separate voter approval up to the difference between total preschool costs and the amount of preschool education State aid received.
