The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution by adding a provision that prohibits students from being required to attend any public school other than the one closest to their residence. This amendment aims to ensure that students can only be compelled to attend the public school located within their school district that offers the necessary course of study. The resolution outlines the process for the amendment's approval, which includes a requirement for it to be submitted to the public for a vote during the next general election, following a three-month notice period.

If approved, the amendment would modify Article VIII, Section IV, paragraph 1 of the New Jersey Constitution, reinforcing the principle that students should have the right to attend their nearest public school. The resolution also details the voting process, including how the question will be presented on ballots, ensuring that voters can clearly express their support or opposition to the proposed change.
