Receipts from nonpublic schools handicapped and auxiliary recoveries are appropriated for the payment of additional aid in accordance with section 17 of P.L.1977, c.192 (C.18A:46A-14) and section 14 of P.L.1977, c.193 (C.18A:46-19.8).

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 14 of P.L.1977, c.193 (C.18A:46-19.8) for the purpose of computing Nonpublic Handicapped Aid for pupils requiring the following services, the per pupil amounts for the 2004-2005 school year shall be: $1,225.00 for an initial evaluation or reevaluation for examination and classification; $380.00 for an annual review for examination and classification; $930.00 for speech correction; and $826.00 for supplementary instruction services.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 9 of P.L.1977, c.192 (C.18A:46A-9), the per pupil amount for compensatory education for the 2004-2005 school year for the purposes of computing Nonpublic Auxiliary Services Aid shall equal $856.25.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 9 of P.L.1991, c.226 (C.18A:40-31), the amount appropriated hereinabove for Nonpublic Nursing Services Aid shall be made available to local school districts based upon the number of pupils enrolled in each nonpublic school on the last day prior to October 16, 2003 and the rate per pupil shall be $74.25.

Nonpublic Technology Initiative aid shall be paid to school districts and allocated for nonpublic school pupils at the rate of $40.00 per pupil in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the federal and State constitutions.

Of the amount hereinabove in the High School Equivalency account, such sums as are necessary may be transferred to an applicant State department.

The amount hereinabove for Extraordinary Special Education Costs Aid shall be charged first to receipts of the supplemental fee established pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2003, c.113 (C.46:15-7.1) credited to the Extraordinary Aid Account.

The amount appropriated hereinabove for Nonpublic Capital Projects Aid shall be distributed by the Commissioner of Education as grants to nonpublic high schools for capital projects, including capital projects completed during the 2003-2004 school year. Grants shall be awarded in accordance with criteria established by the commissioner which shall include but not be limited to: that the nonpublic high school have a significant minority or low-income student enrollment, and that the capital project be used for a secular purpose. A grant shall be awarded upon submission of an application by the nonpublic school to the commissioner and the commissioner's approval of that application. The amount of a grant shall not exceed $500,000.

 

Additional Formula Aid shall be provided to each “non-Abbott” school district in an amount that equals 3% of the total State aid amount payable for the 2003-2004 school year for the following aid categories: Core Curriculum Standards Aid, Supplemental Core Curriculum Standards Aid, Early Childhood Aid, Instructional Supplement Aid, Demonstrably Effective Program Aid, Stabilization Aid, Stabilization Aid II, Stabilization Aid III, Large Efficient District Aid, Aid for Districts with High Senior Citizen Populations, Regionalization Incentive Aid, Adult and Post-Secondary Education Grants, Bilingual Education Aid, Special Education Aid, County Vocational Program Aid, Transportation Aid, School Choice, Aid for Enrollment Adjustments, and Consolidated Aid. Notwithstanding any other law or regulation to the contrary, the amount provided to each district as Consolidated Aid and Additional Formula Aid shall be included in the calculation of the spending growth limitation pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1996, c.138 (C.18A:7F-5).

The amount appropriated hereinabove for Positive Achievement and Cost Effectiveness aid shall be distributed to school districts demonstrating high levels of academic achievement while incurring low education expenditures. Notwithstanding any provision of P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), the Commissioner of Education shall be authorized to develop the criteria for distributing this aid and shall adopt regulations that shall be deemed adopted and effective immediately upon filing with the Office of Administrative Law. Upon receiving this award, districts will be expected to share information about their practices with the State and other districts.

The Commissioner of Education shall not authorize the disbursement of funds to any “Abbott district” until the commissioner is satisfied that all educational expenditures in the district will be spent effectively and efficiently in order to enable those students to achieve the core curriculum content standards. The commissioner shall be authorized to take any necessary action to fulfill this responsibility, including but not limited to, the adoption of regulations related to the receipt and/or expenditure of State aid by the “Abbott districts” and the programs, services and positions supported thereby. Notwithstanding any provision of P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), any such regulations adopted by the commissioner shall be deemed adopted immediately upon filing with the Office of Administrative Law. In order to expeditiously fulfill the responsibilities of the commissioner under Abbott v. Burke, determinations by the commissioner hereunder shall be considered to be final agency action and appeal of that action shall be directly to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court.

Of the amount appropriated hereinabove for Education Opportunity Aid, an amount not to exceed $14,686,000, shall be transferred to the Department of Education’s operating budget, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, for the purpose of managing and supervising implementation of Abbott remedies. In addition, the unexpended balance as of June 30, 2004, in the Abbott v. Burke Parity Remedy account is appropriated to the Education Opportunity Aid account and shall also be transferred to the Department of Education’s operating budget, for the same purpose, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The amount appropriated hereinabove for Education Opportunity Aid will provide resources to equalize spending between “I” and “J” districts and “Abbott districts,” and provide aid to fund additional needs of “Abbott districts”. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, Education Opportunity Aid shall be provided to each “Abbott district” whose per pupil regular education expenditure for 2004-2005 under P.L.1996, c.138 is below the estimated per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2004-2005. The amount of aid shall be determined as follows: funds shall be allocated in the amount of the difference between each “Abbott district’s” per pupil regular education expenditure for 2004-2005 and the actual per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2003-2004 indexed by the actual percentage increase in the per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2003-2004 over the per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2002-2003. In calculating the per pupil regular education expenditure of each “Abbott district” for 2004-2005, regular education expenditure shall equal the sum of the general fund tax levy for 2003-2004, Core Curriculum Standards Aid, Supplemental Core Curriculum Standards Aid and all forms of stabilization aid pursuant to section 10 of P.L.1996, c.138 (C.18A:7F-10); enrollments shall initially be those resident enrollments for preschool through grade 12 contained on the Application for State School Aid for 2004-2005 indexed by the district’s enrollment growth rate used to determine the estimated enrollments of October 2004; enrollments shall be calculated at their full-time equivalent and reduced by preschool and one half of full-day kindergarten enrollments. State aid shall be adjusted upon receipt of resident enrollment for the “Abbott districts” as of October 15, 2004 as reflected on the Application for State School Aid for 2005-2006. State aid shall also be adjusted based on the actual per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2004-2005. In calculating the actual per pupil average regular education expenditure of districts in district factor groups “I” and “J” for 2004-2005, regular education expenditure shall equal the sum of the general fund tax levy for 2004-2005, Core Curriculum Standards Aid, Supplemental Core Curriculum Standards Aid and all forms of stabilization aid pursuant to section 10 of P.L.1996, c.138 (C.18A:7F-10); enrollments shall be the resident enrollment for preschool through grade 12 as of October 15, 2004 as reflected on the Application for State School Aid for 2005-2006; enrollments shall be calculated at their full-time equivalent and reduced by preschool and one half of full-day kindergarten enrollments in districts receiving Early Childhood Program Aid.

The amount appropriated hereinabove for Education Opportunity Aid shall also be used for the award of supplemental funding to “Abbott districts” for programs, services and positions that the Commissioner of Education determines are essential to the provision of a thorough and efficient education in those districts. Before the commissioner establishes the amount of the supplemental award, he shall determine whether some or all of the additional funds sought can be achieved by reallocating non-instructional expenditures or by achieving economies and efficiencies in the delivery of services and programs. If the commissioner determines that the district does have available such reallocations or achievement of economies and efficiencies, the commissioner shall direct that the district undertake those steps and use those funds to support, in part or in full, the requested programs and services. The supplemental award shall be adjusted based on the annual audit filed pursuant to N.J.S.18A:23-1, and other financial statements and information, of each “Abbott district” that has requested these discretionary funds. Any district that fails to submit the required documentation or fails to submit its annual audit by November 15, 2004 may have its State aid withheld upon the commissioner’s request to the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting. In making any adjustment to the supplemental award, the commissioner shall consider all of the district’s available resources and any appropriate reallocations, including, but not limited to, a reallocation of the district’s undesignated general fund balances in excess of two percent.

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, as a condition of receiving Education Opportunity Aid, an “Abbott district” shall raise a general fund tax levy which shall be no less than the general fund tax levy of the prior year.

The amount appropriated hereinabove as Abbott Preschool Expansion Aid is for the purpose of funding the increase in the approved budgeted costs from 2001-2002 to 2004-2005 for the projected expansion of preschool programs in “Abbott districts.” Payments of Abbott Preschool Expansion Aid shall be based on documented expansion of the preschool program. Upon the Commissioner of Education’s request, “Abbott districts” shall be required to provide such supporting documentation as deemed necessary to verify that the actual expansion in the preschool program has occurred in the 2004-2005 fiscal year. Such documentation may include expenditure, enrollment and attendance data that may be subject to an audit. Appropriate adjustments to a district’s Abbott Preschool Expansion Aid amount may be made by the commissioner based on actual need.

From the amount appropriated hereinabove for Early Launch to Learning Initiative, such funds as are necessary for the support of two staff persons to administer the program shall be transferred to the Office of Early Childhood Education in direct state services, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

The amount hereinabove for Above Average Enrollment Growth Aid shall be distributed to school districts, other than county vocational school districts, whose projected enrollment for the 2004-05 school year exceeds its enrollment for the 2003-04 school year by at least 3.5 percent, as determined by the commissioner. Each such school district shall receive an amount equal to $765 multiplied by its projected increase in enrollment if its projected increase is less than 7.5 percent, and an amount equal to $1,600 multiplied by its projected increase in enrollment if its projected increase is equal to or greater than 7.5 percent. Any amount remaining in this account after distribution is made pursuant to these criteria shall be distributed by the commissioner to school districts meeting substantially similar circumstances

The amount hereinabove for the New Jersey Character Education Partnership Initiative shall be made available to school districts according to a formula to be administered by the Commissioner of Education which will assure that each district that elects to participate shall receive funding for at least one school. Of the amount appropriated hereinabove, up to $100,000 may be used to fund the costs of operating this program, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting.

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the amount of State aid made available to the Department of Human Services pursuant to “The State Facilities Education Act of 1979,” P.L.1979, c.207 (C.18A:7B-1 et al.), to defray the costs of educating eligible children in approved private schools under contract with the Department of Human Services shall not exceed the actual costs of the education of those children in such private schools.

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, Special Education Aid for pupils classified as severe cognitive impairment shall be paid directly to the resident school district; provided however, that for pupils under contract for service in a regional day school operated by or under contract with the Department of Human Services, tuition shall be withheld and paid to the Department of Human Services.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3 of P.L.1971, c.271, (C.18A:46-31), a portion of the district tuition amounts payable to a county special services school district operating an extended school year program may be transferred to the county special services school district prior to the first of September in the event the board shall file a written request with the Commissioner of Education stating the needs for the funds. The commissioner shall review the board’s request and determine whether to grant the request after an assessment of whether the district needs to spend the funds prior to September and after considering the availability of district surplus. The commissioner shall transfer the payment for the portion of the tuition payable for which need has been demonstrated.

Of the amount appropriated hereinabove for County Special Services Restoration Aid, $15,000 shall be distributed to each of the eight County Special Services Districts.

The amount hereinabove for Above Average Enrollment Growth Aid shall be distributed to school districts, other than county vocational school districts, whose projected enrollment for the 2004-05 school year exceeds its enrollment for the 2003-04 school year by at least 3.5 percent, as determined by the commissioner. Each such school district shall receive an amount equal to $765 multiplied by its projected increase in enrollment if its projected increase is less than 7.5 percent, and an amount equal to $1,600 multiplied by its projected increase in enrollment if its projected increase is equal to or greater than 7.5 percent.

Of the amount hereinabove for High Expectation for Learning Proficiency Aid, $15,000,000 shall be distributed to school districts, other than those designated as Abbott districts as of June 21, 2004, that are not county-based or non-operating as determined by the commissioner, and that are either (a) in district factor group A or B and whose equalized valuation per pupil is less than $380,000; (b) in district factor group A, B, CD or DE, and has a concentration of low income pupils that is greater than or equal to 14 percent and has an equalized valuation per pupil that is less than $1,100,000 per pupil, and either has a general fund tax levy per pupil that exceeds $9,000 or a concentration of low income pupils that exceeds 30 percent; or (c) contiguous to a designated Abbott school district, have at least one school with a concentration of low income pupils equal to or greater than 20 percent and have not received Early Childhood Program Aid in the 2003-04 school year. Each such district shall receive the same proportion of $15,000,000 as its October 2003 resident enrollment bears to the total October 2003 resident enrollment of all such districts. As used hereinabove, "district factor group" shall be as determined by the commissioner using 2000 federal decennial census data; "equalized valuation per pupil" and "general fund tax levy per pupil" shall be as determined by the commissioner for the school year 2003-04; and "concentration of low income pupils" shall be as defined in section 3 of P.L.1996, c.138 (C.18A:7F-3), except that the ASSA data shall be as of October 2003. Any amount remaining in this account after distribution is made pursuant to these criteria shall be distributed by the commissioner to school districts meeting substantially similar circumstances.

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, as a condition of receiving discretionary Education Opportunity Aid (PTRF), an "Abbott district" shall examine all available group options for every insurance policy held by the district, including any self-insurance plan administered by the New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance Group on behalf of districts, and shall participate in the most cost effective plans. As a further condition, all "Abbott districts" shall take steps to maximize the district's participation in the federal Universal Service Program (E-rate) and the ACT telecommunications program offered through the New Jersey Association of School Business Administrators, shall participate in the ACES energy program offered through the New Jersey School Boards Association unless a district can demonstrate that it receives the goods or services at a cost less than or equal to the cost achieved by participants, and shall take appropriate steps to maximize the district's participation in the Special Education Medicaid Initiative (SEMI) program, with maximum participation defined by the Commissioner of Education and shall refinance all outstanding debt for which a three percent net present value savings threshold is achieveable. An "Abbott district" that fails to meet any of these requirements may have its award of discretionary Education Opportunity Aid (PTRF) reduced by the approximate amount of potential savings and/or increased federal funding as determined by the Commissioner of Education. The commissioner is authorized to establish any additional condition on the disbursement of discretionary Education Opportunity Aid (PTRF) that the commissioner deems appropriate to ensure the effective and efficient spending in the "Abbott districts."

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, of the amount appropriated hereinabove for Additional Formula Aid (PTRF), $1,000,000 shall be allocated to any "non-Abbott" school district that enrolled less than 50 percent of the district's resident school aged population as measured in the 2000 Decennial Census and whose local share calculated pursuant to section 14 of P.L.1996, c.138 (C.18A:7F:14) for fiscal 2002 is greater than 80 percent and whose low income concentration rate for fiscal 2002 exceeds 45 percent.
