Overview
This bill establishes a five-year Community Schools Pilot Program within the New Jersey Department of Education. The program aims to support public schools, renaissance schools, and charter schools in becoming ‘community schools’ – schools that coordinate educational and supportive services with community-based organizations. It will provide training, technical assistance, and site coordinators to help schools implement these integrated services, focusing on student support, expanded learning, family engagement, and collaborative leadership. The program will be funded through a dedicated state fund and evaluated through an independent audit.
