Establishes School Supervisor Mentorship Pilot Program; appropriates $500,000.
This bill creates a three-year pilot program to support new school supervisors in New Jersey. It directly affects first-year certified supervisors (called "novice supervisors" in the bill) who guide teaching staff, requiring them to participate in a mentorship program. The program mandates 15+ hours of annual mentoring with trained mentors, plus additional professional development, administered by a nonprofit partner under the Commissioner of Education's oversight. The state appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund to cover program costs. A final report on the program's effectiveness will be submitted to the Governor and Legislature after the pilot ends.

MINOR
The bill was amended by the Assembly Appropriations Committee on June 19, 2025, primarily shifting the authority to select annual cohorts of novice supervisors from the Commissioner of Education to the partnering nonprofit organization. A new co-sponsor (Assemblywoman Haider) was also added. The remaining changes are formatting and housekeeping.
REQUIREMENT
Section 2(d) was amended so that the partnering nonprofit organization, rather than the Commissioner of Education, is now responsible for annually selecting the cohort of novice supervisors to participate in the program. This shifts operational control of participant selection from the state to the nonprofit partner.
TECHNICAL
Assemblywoman Haider was added as a co-sponsor of the bill.
