A 1521 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes temporary five-year teacher certification for veterans in certain circumstances.

This bill creates a temporary five-year teaching certification for New Jersey veterans enrolled in educator preparation programs at accredited colleges. To qualify, veterans must have completed at least four years of honorable military service, earned 60 college credits, and passed required subject exams. The certification allows school districts to hire these veterans full- or part-time while they complete their certification, and their teaching experience counts toward their program's clinical requirements. The program applies to veterans with military service who are pursuing teaching careers in New Jersey.
