Establishes five-year conception to cradle pilot program in DOE.
This bill establishes a five-year "Conception to Cradle Pilot Program" within New Jersey's Department of Education to provide integrated early childhood services. The program targets 50 public schools with the worst student performance in low-income communities, requiring them to partner with health and social service providers to offer prenatal care, pediatric health services, and developmental support for infants and toddlers from birth to age three. A nonprofit organization will manage the pilot, train school staff, assign site coordinators (employed by the nonprofit, not the school), and develop selection criteria prioritizing schools serving under-resourced communities. The program includes annual audits and an evaluation, funded through a dedicated nonlapsing state fund that may accept private contributions.
