Establishes one-time grant program to support implementation of free, full-day kindergarten programs in certain school districts; appropriates $5 million.
This bill establishes a one-time $5 million grant program to help 10 specific New Jersey school districts implement free, full-day kindergarten programs. It directly affects Moorestown Township, Haddonfield, Metuchen, Monroe Township, Millstone Township, the Chathams, Bridgewater-Raritan, Hillsborough, Cranford, and Westfield school districts, which currently do not offer such programs. Districts must submit applications detailing their implementation plans and associated costs for approval. If approved, each eligible district receives an equal share of the $5 million in funding to cover program setup expenses. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
