Directs Commissioner of Education to establish three-year pilot program to increase reading levels of certain students; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program to provide summer reading instruction for New Jersey students not reading at grade level by the end of second grade. It requires participating school districts to apply with data on their elementary schools and past summer program enrollment, with the Commissioner selecting two districts per region (north, central, south) to ensure urban, suburban, and rural representation. The program appropriates $1 million from the state general fund to cover implementation costs, and the Commissioner must evaluate its effectiveness and submit a report to the Governor and Legislature after three years, including recommendations for potential statewide expansion. The bill directly affects second-grade students in selected districts and the state Department of Education.
