A 6043 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes four-year Performing Arts Education Improvement Grant Program.

This bill establishes a four-year grant program to support performing arts education in New Jersey public school districts. It targets districts where a majority of schools serve high concentrations of multilingual learners, students in foster care, rural students, or those facing academic challenges. Grant funds can be used for purchasing arts materials, teacher training, developing transition programs for students moving between school levels, and creating new arts-based tutoring or extracurricular activities. School districts receiving grants must submit annual reports on program participation and outcomes, and the state education commissioner will evaluate the program's success after four years to recommend potential expansion.
