Establishes employment contracts for high school coaches in New Jersey school districts.

The bill establishes measures to provide employment stability for high school coaches employed in school districts in New Jersey. It mandates that head coaches receive a three-year employment contract, while assistant coaches receive a two-year contract. Coaches can only be dismissed or have their compensation reduced for just cause, not for arbitrary, capricious, or unlawful reasons. If a coach is dismissed or reduced in compensation, they must receive written notice within five days and can request a hearing within 10 days.
