Establishes New Jersey Tuition Reimbursement Program for Special Education Teachers.
This bill establishes a New Jersey Tuition Reimbursement Program for special education teachers. It provides reimbursement for up to 100% of eligible tuition costs (after other grants/scholarships) for teachers pursuing a master's degree or certification in special education. To qualify, applicants must be NJ residents, hold a valid teaching certificate, enroll in an approved program, and agree to teach special education in a NJ public school for four years after completing their degree. Teachers must also meet performance standards, including maintaining residency, certification, and satisfactory teaching evaluations. Failure to complete the four-year commitment requires full repayment of the reimbursement to the state.
