A 6263 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Military-Connected Student Mental Health Grant Program; appropriates $1 million.

This bill creates the Military-Connected Student Mental Health Grant Program, appropriating $1 million to fund mental health services for students with military-connected families in New Jersey. It directly affects school districts with high concentrations of military-connected students - defined as those with parents/guardians serving in active duty, National Guard, or reserve components of the U.S. military. School districts must apply to receive grants to expand mental health services, provide outreach, and offer counseling specifically for students whose parents are deployed. The program requires districts to report on service usage and outcomes, with the state also reporting to the Governor and Legislature on program effectiveness.
