February 3, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Jersey City Board of Education’s payment of salaries and benefits to two teachers designated as releasees is within its statutory authority under N.J.S.A. 18A:30-7 and does not violate the New Jersey Constitution’s Gift Clause because the arrangement serves a public purpose and the public purpose is paramount.
