Bill overview
This bill creates a five-year pilot program to provide state funding to adult education programs in New Jersey. The program will specifically target students residing in school districts with historically low high school graduation rates. Eligible students enrolled in approved adult high school programs will receive state aid, starting at $1,500 per pupil in the 2020-2021 school year, with annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index. The Commissioner of Education will evaluate the program’s effectiveness and make recommendations for its future.
