S 1967 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "COVID-19 Learning Loss Study Commission."

S 1967 proposes creating a 13-member "COVID-19 Learning Loss Study Commission" to examine how the pandemic impacted student learning in New Jersey. The commission, including education leaders, school associations, and public members, will analyze academic data from school closures in March 2020 through the bill's effective date, focusing on learning gaps by school type, grade level, and subject. It must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within six months of forming. This bill does not change education policy but establishes a study to inform future decisions about student learning recovery.
