Governor Murphy announced his proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 on February 27, 2024.  The Budget process is now in the hands of the Legislature.  We are asking the Legislature to include Budget Resolutions for transportation and nursing services.  Specifically, we are asking for the nonpublic school transportation ceiling to be increased to AT LEAST $1,233, which reflects the Consumer Price Index increase for busing for the upcoming school year.  We are also asking for the per-pupil amount for nonpublic school nursing services to be increased to $160 to reflect the difficulty for nonpublic schools to attract nursing candidates.   

Please include any personal stories pertaining to these two issues.
