Establishes Autism Education Council.
This bill establishes the Autism Education Council within New Jersey's Department of Education to improve services for students with autism in public schools. The council, composed of seven members including the Education Commissioner and appointed representatives from parent groups and autism organizations, will distribute $9.6 million annually (from a $10 million appropriation) to public school districts and colleges. Grants fund professional development for educators, hiring additional support staff, and supplemental programs like after-school socialization and transitional planning. The council must monitor grant impacts and submit annual reports to the Governor, Legislature, and school districts detailing grant recipients, amounts, and outcomes.
