The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution to ensure that no student is required to attend a public school other than the one closest to their residence, as long as that school is within the student's school district and offers the necessary course of study. This amendment aims to provide greater flexibility and choice for families regarding their children's education, reinforcing the principle that students should have access to their nearest public school.

If the amendment is approved by the legislature, it will be presented to the public for a vote in the next general election, following a mandatory publication period in local newspapers. The ballot will include a clear question for voters to express their support or opposition to the proposed change, which emphasizes the importance of local access to education for all students in New Jersey.
