Establishes "Twelfth Grade Postsecondary Transition Year Pilot Program" in Department of Education.
S 1590 establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey's Department of Education to help 12th graders in pandemic-impacted school districts access free college coursework during their senior year. The program targets districts with high economic disadvantage, low college enrollment rates, and significant learning loss from COVID-19. Participating students must take 6-15 postsecondary credits per semester (with a 2.0 GPA minimum), while partnering colleges provide free courses, waive fees, and charge districts no more than $100 per credit. Districts must collect demographic data on student progress, and the program will conclude with a state report evaluating its potential for statewide expansion.
