A 339 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes school district grant program in DOE to reimburse public school teachers for classroom material expenditures.

This bill creates a program to reimburse full-time public school teachers in New Jersey for classroom supply expenses, up to $250 per school year. School districts receive funding equal to $250 multiplied by their number of full-time teachers, and teachers submit receipts to apply for reimbursement. After covering all teachers up to $250 (or their actual expenses if lower), remaining funds reimburse teachers who spent over $250 proportionally. Unused funds are held in reserve for the next school year, and the program will be funded using federal pandemic relief funds like the American Rescue Plan Act.
