Bill overview
This bill creates a matching grant program overseen by the New Jersey Commissioner of Education to help school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects use federal funds to increase student instructional time and address learning loss. Eligible funds come from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund allocated under the American Rescue Plan Act. Schools must demonstrate a need for increased instructional time and learning acceleration based on recent assessment data to be eligible for the grant, which provides a 50% match to their eligible funds.
