Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

The purpose of this chapter is to establish the rules for the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program (choice program) in the Department of Education (Department) as provided for in 18A:36B-14 et seq. The choice program is necessary to increase options and flexibility for parents and students in selecting a school that best meets the needs of each student, thereby improving educational opportunities for New Jersey citizens. The choice program has increased the degree to which the education system is responsive to parents and students. It has also effected systemic improvements such as enhancing academic achievement and improving efficiency through a voluntary redistribution of students from overcrowded to under-enrolled school districts. Ultimately, the choice program can improve the quality of public school education in New Jersey by creating a healthy competition among school districts.
