S 2207 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program."

S 2207 establishes New Jersey's three-year "Summer Earn and Learn Pilot Program" through the Department of Education. It directly affects eligible New Jersey public school students (residents meeting employment age, enrolled in district/charter schools, and maintaining a 3.0 GPA) by providing summer learning sessions (3 hours/day, 5 days/week) to address pandemic-related learning loss while pairing them with paid work opportunities. Key provisions include using federal pandemic relief funds (CARES, CRRSA, ARP) to pay students at least minimum wage for roles like tutoring, with schools applying to participate and the state developing guidelines for learning content, employer partnerships, and stipend rates based on age. The program aims to prevent students from choosing between school and work during summer breaks.
