    Summary

    The Nonpublic School Security Program establishes a State aid program for the provision of security services, equipment, or technology to ensure a safe and secure environment for students attending nonpublic schools.


    This program requires the board of education in each school district in New Jersey to adopt policies and procedures to provide security services, equipment, and technology to all qualifying nonpublic schools located in the public school district, within the limit of funds appropriated. A school district must provide security services, equipment, and technology to the nonpublic school directly or through a provider, and must maintain administrative control over all funds and program requirements. All security services, equipment and technology provided under this program must be used for the purpose of ensuring a safe and secure school environment for nonpublic school students, and for secular, neutral, non-religious and non-ideological purposes. The security services, equipment, or technology provided to nonpublic schools must not include payments for instructional services directed to nonpublic school students.
