A 1419 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "VETeach Pilot Program" in DOE to facilitate teacher certification of veterans.

This bill establishes a four-year "VETeach Pilot Program" within New Jersey's Department of Education to help veterans become certified teachers. It directly affects veterans who served in the U.S. military on or after September 11, 2001, by providing them with a 36-month teacher preparation program at Rowan University. The program leads to a teaching certification allowing veterans to work in K-8 classrooms and certain secondary subjects, addressing teacher shortages while supporting veteran employment. Upon completion, the program requires a report on participant enrollment, hiring rates, and recommendations for potential permanent expansion.
