The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. The security and welfare of the State require that all school age children be assured the fullest possible opportunity to develop their intellectual capacities.

b. The annual appropriations to provide services pursuant to P.L.1977, c.193 (C.18A:46-19.1 et al.) should be fully expended each year to support nonpublic school students.
c. The maximum per service aid amounts established by the commissioner are to be calculated in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1977, c.193 (C.18A:46-19.1 et al.) in order to maintain the quality of services provided to eligible nonpublic students and the overall sustainability of the program.
