Directs State Board of Education to authorize general science endorsement.

Bill S 3523 directs New Jersey's State Board of Education to create a "general science endorsement" for teacher instructional certificates. This endorsement would allow certified teachers to teach biological science, chemistry, earth science, physical science, or physics courses in grades 9-12. The bill requires the State Board to establish specific requirements ensuring teachers have the necessary knowledge for these high school courses. Existing teachers with specialized science endorsements (biology, chemistry, etc.) may apply to receive the new general science endorsement. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
