Requires 10 percent of certain federal education relief funds, approximating $26.2 million, be dedicated specifically to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

S 924 requires New Jersey to dedicate at least 10% of its state reserve funds from the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) Fund - approximately $26.2 million - to educational programs, supports, and services specifically for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This applies to the portion of ESSER III funds not allocated to local schools or other required uses under federal law. The bill mandates this funding be used to address pandemic-related learning loss and service disruptions that disproportionately impacted these students. It does not alter existing allocations to local school districts or change how other ESSER III funds are distributed. The bill aims to ensure dedicated resources for this student group using funds already designated for state-level pandemic recovery efforts.
