A 5909 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes one-time grant program to support implementation of free, full-day kindergarten programs in certain school districts; appropriates $5 million.

This bill creates a one-time $5 million grant program to help 10 specific New Jersey school districts implement free, full-day kindergarten programs. The districts affected - Moorestown, Haddonfield, Metuchen, Monroe, Millstone, Chathams, Bridgewater-Raritan, Hillsborough, Cranford, and Westfield - must apply with implementation plans and cost estimates. If approved, each district receives an equal share of the $5 million to cover program setup costs. The program applies only to districts not currently offering free, full-day kindergarten.
