Establishes United Network for Inclusive Teaching and Youth Grant Program; makes appropriation.
S 3544 creates a three-year grant program (the United Network for Inclusive Teaching and Youth, or UNITY, Program) administered by New Jersey's Commissioner of Education. It provides grants to school district employees facing adverse situations to cover free or low-cost preschool or higher education for their dependents. Employees must apply through the commissioner, who determines grant amounts and may offer multi-year awards. The bill appropriates funds from the General Fund and requires a report on program implementation and outcomes within six months after the program ends.
