S 171 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

This bill establishes a New Jersey state program to reimburse full-time public school teachers for classroom supply expenses up to $250 per school year. School districts receive funding based on the number of full-time teachers ($250 per teacher), and teachers submit receipts to request reimbursement for approved supplies like books or computer equipment. Any remaining funds after initial reimbursements cover teachers who spent over $250, with unused funds rolling over to the next school year. The program is funded entirely through federal pandemic relief funds (like the ARP Act), not state money.
