S 1418 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DOE to establish advertising campaign to attract candidates to teaching and education support professions; appropriates $1 million.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Education to launch a multimedia advertising campaign promoting teaching and education support careers as engaging and rewarding. The campaign must highlight available scholarships, student loan programs, and financial support, while using digital, TV, radio, print, and other media. It specifically requires targeted outreach to recruit more teachers from underrepresented racial groups and to fill high-demand roles like STEM education, special education, and bilingual programs. The $1 million funding - drawn from federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) funds - will support these efforts, with the campaign taking effect immediately upon passage.
