Establishes "Male Teachers of Color Mentorship Pilot Program"; appropriates $95,000.

This bill establishes a three-year "Male Teachers of Color Mentorship Pilot Program" in New Jersey, targeting male students of color enrolled in the final year of educator preparation programs at participating colleges and male teachers of color in school districts, charter schools, or renaissance schools. It requires pairing each eligible student with a mentor teacher for their final academic year and the first two years of employment, if hired by the same district. The program appropriates $95,000 from the General Fund, including a $5,000 annual stipend for participating mentors, and mandates school districts to make a good-faith effort to hire students who receive favorable performance reviews. The Commissioner of Education must submit a report on the program's effectiveness and recommend potential expansion after the pilot concludes.
