A 5075 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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.
