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 a New Jersey Community Learning Program within the Department of Education to fund comprehensive after-school programs in specific "impact districts" - communities with high historical rates of cannabis-related arrests, poverty, and unemployment. It directly affects school districts in these designated areas, requiring them to create after-school programs offering academic support and enrichment during non-school hours. The program will be funded entirely by dedicating a portion of New Jersey’s cannabis tax revenue to a new "Community Learning Assistance Fund," with funds distributed annually to impact districts to cover all program costs. Districts must submit detailed program plans for approval by the Education Commissioner before implementation, and funding is contingent on annual state appropriations from the cannabis revenue fund.
