Establishes measures to provide employment stability for high school coaches employed in school districts.
This bill establishes employment stability for high school coaches in New Jersey public school districts. Head coaches (who are tenured or out-of-district employees) receive a three-year contract, while assistant coaches (tenured) get a two-year contract. Coaches are automatically reappointed at the end of their term unless the school board provides 90 days' written notice of non-reappointment. The bill requires school districts to provide written notice of dismissal or pay reduction within five days, allows coaches to request a hearing within 10 days (with legal representation and testimony under oath), and mandates a board decision following the hearing.
