Establishes "VETeach Pilot Program" in DOE to facilitate teacher certification of veterans.

S 1420 establishes New Jersey's "VETeach Pilot Program" to help veterans become public school teachers. The program targets veterans who served after September 11, 2001, by enrolling them in a 36-month teacher preparation track at up to four selected public universities. Upon completion, participants earn a teaching certification (with advanced standing) allowing them to teach in grades K-8 and certain secondary subjects. The pilot requires participating universities to design the program, with the Department of Education reporting on outcomes like veteran enrollment and hiring rates after four years.
