NJ S3614

Non-resident students enrolled in renaissance school projects must be funded by their home school district of residence rather than the district where the project is located, at 95 percent of the home district's per pupil expenditure plus categorical aids

The renaissance school district only pays for students who both enroll in the project and reside within that district, clarifying existing ambiguous language in New Jersey law

The Department of Education must include renaissance school projects in the Charter School Enrollment System to calculate and reconcile payments between districts and projects

Disputes over student residency status or payments will be resolved using existing charter school dispute resolution rules and procedures

The bill takes effect immediately and applies starting with the first full school year after enactment
