New JerseyUnused school aid would raise later nonpublic transportation limits
The state would use refunded aid left over from nonpublic school nursing and security services to raise the transportation cost limit two school years later.
What it does
The state would use any refunded aid left over from nonpublic school nursing or security services to raise the statewide limit on transportation costs per student.
Argument forUsing refunded aid could raise the per-student transportation limit, allowing districts to cover more transportation costs for nonpublic school students.
Argument againstBecause the amount of refunded aid can vary each year, districts may have less predictable limits for planning nonpublic student transportation.
More detail
The state would use refunded aid to raise the statewide per-student limit for nonpublic school transportation costs. The aid comes from state support for nursing or security services provided to nonpublic schools through school districts. Only aid left unspent on nonpublic school nursing or security services and refunded to the state would be used. Aid from one school year would raise the transportation cost limit for the school year after the following school year.
