S 2243 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes five-year community schools pilot program.

S 2243 establishes a five-year pilot program to create "community schools" in New Jersey, defined as public schools coordinating educational, health, family, and community services through partnerships. It directly affects one public, charter, or renaissance school per county, which will receive support from a site coordinator hired by a university or nonprofit managing the program. Key mechanisms include training for schools, a technical assistance center for sharing best practices, and a dedicated fund for program costs using state and private funds. The pilot aims to integrate services year-round but does not mandate permanent changes.
