New Jersey Community Learning Program to provide after school services in high-impact cannabis areas.

The bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program within the Department of Education to provide comprehensive after school programs in certain communities most impacted by the criminalization of cannabis. The program aims to close the achievement gap and provide services for enrolled students during non-school hours. Funding for the program would come from a portion of the annual State revenues collected from the retail sale of recreational cannabis products.
