ASSEMBLY EDUCATION COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
ASSEMBLY, No. 2065
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: OCTOBER 7, 1996
The Assembly Education Committee favorably reports Assembly Bill No. 2065 with committee amendments.
Currently, under certain circumstances, the board of education of a school district, including a regional school district, is authorized to fill a vacancy which may occur on the board. As amended by committee, this bill provides that in the case of a regional school district, it would be the governing body of the constituent municipality or the governing bodies of the constituent municipalities included within a regional school district representative district represented by the former board member which would fill such vacancy.
The committee adopted language to reflect the situation of a regional school district in which representative districts have been formed and the representative district includes more than one municipality.
