Nonpublic school pupil transportation pilot program
Dear New Jersey Department of Education,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
The commissioner's report to the Governor, and the Legislature, according to section 2 of P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1) on the implementation of the nonpublic school pupil transportation pilot program and the commissioner's recommendation on the advisability of continuing the program and expanding the program Statewide.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Citizen
Mr. Sills,
The Department of Education does not make or maintain records responsive
to your request, as no report has been submitted to the Governor and
Legislature given the removal of all funding for the pilot program in the
FY2020 budget. A receipt indicating same, and that your request has been
closed, is attached.
