Establishes school district grant program in DOE to reimburse public school teachers for classroom material expenditures.
S 2014 establishes a New Jersey Department of Education grant program to reimburse full-time public school teachers for classroom supply expenses, directly affecting teachers in all public school districts. Teachers may receive up to $250 annually for eligible items like books, computers, or classroom materials (excluding physical education supplies), with reimbursement requiring submission of receipts to their school district. Unused funds after initial reimbursements cover teachers who spent over $250, with remaining balances carried forward to the next school year. The program is funded exclusively through federal pandemic relief funds (e.g., the American Rescue Plan Act), not state budget dollars.
