-
Sending school districts that qualified for representation on a receiving district's board of education in the 2022-2023 school year may retain that representation even if student enrollment drops below the normally required percentage threshold.
-
The provision applies only when the receiving district is entitled to commercial valuation stabilization aid under P.L.2015, c.143, which in practice means it affects only the Atlantic City School District.
-
Under current law (P.L.1995, c.8), sending districts must have students comprising a certain percentage of the receiving district's enrollment to qualify for board representation.
-
The bill aims to ensure sending districts maintain oversight and input on the receiving board given their substantial tuition payments, regardless of minor enrollment fluctuations.
