Provides deduction from gross income of $500 for full-time educators and paraprofessionals and $350 for part-time educators and paraprofessionals.
New Jersey's S 3566 would allow educators and school aides to reduce their taxable income by $500 annually if working full-time, or $350 for part-time roles. It applies to teachers in public school districts, charter schools, or approved private schools, and school aides who assist with student supervision. The deduction requires full-time employees to work at least 25 hours weekly (or 12 months annually, excluding standard school-year contracts). This policy directly affects eligible educators and paraprofessionals employed in New Jersey schools.
