S 3219 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Elementary Student Literacy Task Force.

S 3219 establishes a 17-member Elementary Student Literacy Task Force to study reading proficiency in New Jersey's public elementary schools. The task force, including education officials, legislators' appointees, and education stakeholders, will examine current reading levels, analyze effective teaching methods, research national best practices, and study support for students with reading disabilities. It must submit a final report with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year of forming, focusing on improving literacy instruction and family engagement. The bill does not implement new programs but directs the task force to identify concrete steps for schools to help all students read at or above grade level.
