Establishes grant program for school districts and charter schools to develop dual language immersion programs.

This bill establishes a grant program administered by New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to help school districts and charter schools develop dual language immersion programs. Eligible schools must use a 50% English/50% other language (like Spanish, French, or Chinese) instructional model starting in kindergarten or first grade. Grants cover curriculum development, materials, staff training, and program evaluation, with funding allocated across the state's northern, central, and southern regions. The program is funded through a new nonlapsing revolving fund in the Department of Education. (Bill A2987)
