New Jersey Community Learning Program to provide extended learning time in impacted areas, funded by cannabis tax revenue.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program in the Department of Education to provide comprehensive extended learning time programs in certain communities most affected by the criminalization of cannabis. These programs, referred to as "impact zones," aim to close the achievement gap and offer services during non-school hours. The funding for these programs is sourced from a portion of the annual State revenues collected from the retail sale of recreational cannabis products.
