Makes supplemental appropriation of $9 million from General Fund to DOE to support Engaged Learning Strategies - STEM Curriculum Program in certain school districts.
This bill appropriates $9 million from New Jersey's General Fund to fund a three-year pilot program for project-based STEM education in nine school districts. It specifically targets at-risk students in grades six through eight, focusing on hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math learning through curriculum development, teacher training, and classroom resources. Four of the nine participating districts may include Camden, Newark, Paterson, and Trenton school districts. The program requires the state education commissioner to submit a final report evaluating its implementation and recommending whether it should be expanded statewide.
