Monmouth Views

New Jersey has NO private school choice program. Its 'Interdistrict Public School Choice Program' is public-schools-only despite the name - do not confuse it with a voucher. Gov. Sherrill is undecided on federal ECCA opt-in, saying she will evaluate once the Treasury rules are final; NJ is the last tri-state holdout. Assembly bill A4777 (2026 session) addresses the topic but has not been enacted. Notable given Lakewood's very large yeshiva population - the tuition burden here is carried almost entirely by families and school-level scholarship funds.
