Establishes New Jersey Grow Your Own Teacher Pilot Program.

S 177 establishes a four-year pilot program to address teacher shortages and diversify school staff in New Jersey. It creates "Grow Your Own Partnerships" between school districts (especially low-income areas), charter schools, and colleges, covering tuition, fees, and housing for minority students who graduated from partner schools. Participants must agree to teach in their home district for at least three years after graduation. The program prioritizes partnerships in underserved communities and requires annual progress reports to the state.
