Overview
This bill requires certain New Jersey school districts that receive specific preschool expansion grants to partner with licensed child care providers and Head Start programs to offer free preschool opportunities to students in their communities. It limits the number of district-run preschool classrooms to two and directs districts to use competitive contracting for these partnerships. The Department of Education will provide support and technical assistance to these providers, and districts can apply for waivers to accommodate limited local resources.
