New Jersey S142 establishes a grant program for organizations that recruit, train, and place new teachers in high poverty school districts.

New Jersey S142 creates a competitive grant program within the Department of Education to fund organizations that recruit, train, and place new teachers in high poverty school districts. Eligible organizations must qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, have a partnership with at least one high poverty school district, and be tax-exempt under federal law. The grant amount matches private contributions up to $2 million annually for three years. The bill appropriates $6 million from the General Fund to the Department of Education for this purpose.
