Bill > A1168

This bill establishes a five-year Community Schools Pilot Program in the New Jersey Department of Education. The program aims to facilitate the establishment of community schools that provide integrated services, including academic, health, social, youth development, and family engagement programs. The bill requires the Commissioner of Education to select an institution of higher education or qualified nonprofit organization to manage the pilot program, which will include providing technical assistance and training to participating schools, as well as assigning site coordinators to assist in the establishment and operation of community schools. The bill also requires an annual audit of the managing organization's accounts and a final evaluation of the pilot program's implementation.
