Establishes New Jersey Community Learning Program to provide extended learning time in certain communities; funds program with portion of State.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program in the Department of Education to support comprehensive extended learning time programs in communities most impacted by the criminalization of cannabis. These programs aim to close the achievement gap and provide services for enrolled students during non-school hours, including summer and holiday recesses. The costs of the program would be supported by a portion of the annual State revenues collected from the retail sale of recreational cannabis products.
