09-02-09 NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS V.
LUCILLE E. DAVY, COMMISSIONER, NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION
A-6074-07T2
The Commissioner of the Department of Education has adopted
regulations entitled "Fiscal Accountability, Efficiency and
Budgeting Procedures," N.J.A.C. Title 6A, Chapter 23A, to
implement laws enacted to revise the school funding formula and
reduce property taxes, in part, through oversight and limitation
of government spending by school districts. See L. 2007, c. 53,
63, 92 and 260. We reject a challenge to the Commissioner's
authority to adopt regulations that set standards for payments
in lieu of unused sick and vacation leave to school district
business administrators, N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-3.1(e)(6)-(8), and
condition a school district's receipt of state aid on its
adoption of a nepotism policy, N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-6.2.
