School Choice Bill Passes Assembly

On March 22 the State Assembly passed A-355 by a 75-0 vote. The bill, which was sponsored by Assemblywomen Mila Jasey and Joan Voss and Assemblyman Paul Moriarty, establishes a permanent Interdistrict Public School Choice Program. A five-year interdistrict public school choice program was established in 2000 and expired on June 30, 2005. NJSBA supported this proposal, which is completely voluntary. The measure now goes to the Senate for its consideration.
