Overview
This bill creates a three-year pilot program to provide school-based mentoring in public schools located within 1,000 feet of areas where gunfire has occurred in the past. The goal is to improve the social-emotional and behavioral skills of young students (kindergarten through third grade) who are at risk for mental health issues or substance abuse. The program will be implemented in the Jersey City School District and six additional schools selected across the state, utilizing a specific curriculum focused on emotional regulation and resilience.
