A 2569 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs State Board of Education to authorize issuance of revised military science endorsement.

This bill changes New Jersey's requirements for teachers who want to instruct military science (JROTC) in high schools. It reduces the required military service from 20 years to 10 years for eligibility, while keeping the need for current military instructor certification. The revised endorsement would allow certified teachers to instruct grades 9-12 in military science programs, aligning with updated federal JROTC instructor standards. The change applies directly to current and future teachers seeking this specific teaching certification.
