Establishes grant program in DOE for school districts to implement animal therapy programs.

This bill establishes a grant program within New Jersey's Department of Education to fund school districts implementing therapy animal programs in school wellness centers or counseling offices. School districts applying for grants must submit plans for using therapy animals to support student wellness, a safety policy protecting students, staff, and animals, and other required details. The program will select two districts per region (south, central, north) to ensure urban, suburban, and rural representation, with grants covering training costs for teachers and their therapy animals. Participating schools must annually report on the program's impact on student well-being, and the Department of Education will compile these reports for the Governor and Legislature.
