Establishes measures to provide employment stability for high school coaches employed in school districts.

This bill (A 747) establishes employment stability for high school athletic coaches in New Jersey public schools. It requires school districts to provide head coaches (who are tenured or out-of-district employees) with 3-year contracts and assistant coaches (tenured) with 2-year contracts. Coaches can only be dismissed during their contract term for "just cause," must receive written notice within 5 days of dismissal/reduction, and have the right to a hearing within 10 days with legal representation and cross-examination. The bill also mandates a one-year improvement period for tenured coaches with poor evaluations and ensures written board decisions following dismissals.
