S 2227 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires public schools to offer or expand summer school programs to students.

This bill requires all New Jersey public school districts, charter schools, and renaissance schools to create or expand summer school programs for students entering grades K-12 the following school year. The programs must focus on addressing pandemic-related learning loss through high-quality instruction in language, literacy, math, and social-emotional skills, while also providing family support resources. Schools must accept written parental requests 45 days before the program starts (with special education enrollment requiring IEP team approval), and report program details to the state education commissioner by January 1 each year.
