Establishes New Jersey Community Learning Program in DOE to provide comprehensive after school programs in certain communities; dedicates portion of State cannabis revenue to support program.
This bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program within the Department of Education to provide comprehensive after-school programs in school districts (called "impact districts") most affected by past cannabis enforcement. It directly affects students in these designated communities by funding academic support and enrichment during non-school hours (before/after school, summer). The program is funded using a portion of New Jersey's state cannabis tax revenue, requiring districts to create detailed plans for services, staffing, locations, and costs within 120 days of the bill's effective date. The program aims to close achievement gaps by offering structured activities during times when school is not in session.
