S 1537 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Extended School Day and School Year Study Commission.

S 1537 establishes a 13-member commission to study whether extending school days and years improves student achievement, learning environments, and educational opportunities in New Jersey. The commission includes representatives from the Senate, General Assembly, education associations (like the New Jersey Education Association), school administrators, and public members, appointed by state leaders. It will examine similar programs in other states and must submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within six months. This bill does not change current school schedules but creates a formal process to evaluate potential reforms.
