Establishes New Jersey Community Learning Program in DOE to provide comprehensive extended learning time programs in certain communities; dedicates portion of State cannabis revenue to support program.
This bill creates a new program within New Jersey's Department of Education to offer extended learning time opportunities, such as before and after school programs, in specific communities affected by high cannabis-related crime and poverty. It designates "impact zones" as municipalities that meet certain criteria related to marijuana arrests, crime rates, and unemployment, and requires these districts to develop and implement programs that provide academic and enrichment services during non-school hours. The program will be funded using a portion of state cannabis revenue, and districts must hold public hearings and submit detailed plans outlining services, staffing, schedules, and costs for approval by the state education commissioner.
