New Jersey Statutes Title 18A. Education 18A § 64A-21

Notwithstanding the time limitations specified i N.J.S. 18A:64A-17, during the calendar year in which the board or boards of chosen freeholders first establish a county college, the board of trustees of the county college may prepare and deliver to the board of school estimate of the college an estimate of the amount necessary to finance the county college until the first regular budget is adopted and available.

The board of school estimate shall meet within a reasonable time after the delivery of said estimate and shall fix and determine the amount necessary to so finance the county college and, if more than one county participated in establishing the county college, shall apportion said amount upon the basis of apportionment valuations as defined in R.S. 54:4-49. The board shall then certify the amount so determined to the board of trustees of the college and to the board of chosen freeholders of each participating county.

The board of chosen freeholders shall, upon receipt of the certification, appropriate its share of said amount in the manner provided for by N.J.S.18A:64A-18 and 18A:64A-19.
