A 3124 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Office of Community Schools; appropriates $10 million.

This bill establishes a new Office of Community Schools within the New Jersey Department of Education to support public schools in creating integrated community school models. The office will provide training, grants, and technical assistance to public school districts, charter schools, and renaissance schools seeking to adopt community school strategies that connect students and families with educational, health, and developmental services. It appropriates $10 million (with $2 million from the state's General Fund and $8 million from federal recovery funds) to fund these efforts, including publishing a statewide list of schools using community school models. The office must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing its activities and impact, starting with the first full school year after enactment.
