Requires Commissioner of Education to establish matching grant program for certain school districts and schools using federal funds to increase instructional time and accelerate learning.

This bill creates a matching grant program for New Jersey public school districts, charter schools, and designated "renaissance" schools to address pandemic-related learning loss. It requires schools to use a portion of their federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to implement evidence-based programs that increase instructional time and accelerate learning, with the state matching 50% of those funds. Eligible schools must demonstrate increased learning loss (via state assessment data) and submit detailed plans for interventions like extended learning time, tutoring, summer programs, or targeted academic support. The program is funded from state ARP funds, capped at $200 million, and requires annual reports on effectiveness.
