A 2395 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits board of education to employ certain veterans in coaching positions in school district's interscholastic athletic program.

This bill allows New Jersey school districts to hire veterans without teaching certificates as coaches for school sports programs. It specifically permits districts to employ veterans who were honorably discharged after at least four years of military service. Currently, such coaching roles require a New Jersey teaching certificate or substitute credential. The bill removes this certification requirement for eligible veterans, directly affecting school districts and qualifying veterans seeking coaching positions.
