Establishes teacher recruitment grant program in DOE; appropriates $6 million to DOE.
This bill creates a competitive grant program to fund organizations recruiting teachers for underserved school districts in New Jersey. It appropriates $6 million from the state budget to match private contributions raised by eligible organizations (up to $1 million per organization annually for three years), with grants awarded to at least two organizations. To qualify, organizations must be tax-exempt and place teachers in districts where at least 40% of students are eligible for free/reduced-price meals and face teacher shortages. The Commissioner of Education will select grantees based on program quality, potential to improve student outcomes, and strategies for long-term teacher retention.
