TRENTON – With the Senate granting approval and the Assembly expected to do the same today, a measure sponsored by Senator Shirley K. Turner, which would establish an interdistrict public school choice program to enable students to attend the school that best suits their needs, will soon be headed to the Governor to be signed into law.
“This bill will help erase the socioeconomic lines drawn in the sand that for too long have prevented many students from achieving their true potential,” said Senator Turner (D-Mercer). “This measure will allow parents to choose the school that is best equipped to meet their child’s needs while, above all, ensuring that public dollars remain dedicated to fund public education.”
