AI Summary

This bill establishes the New Jersey Community Learning Program in the Department of Education (DOE) to provide comprehensive extended learning time programs in certain communities, known as "impact zones," that have been disproportionately affected by the criminalization of cannabis. The bill defines "impact zones" as municipalities with a population of 120,000 or more, or those that rank in the top 40% for marijuana-related arrests, have a high crime index, and have high unemployment rates. The program will be funded by a portion of the State's cannabis revenue and will cover the full costs for impact districts to implement the extended learning time programs. The bill also outlines the process for impact districts to develop and submit program plans for approval by the Commissioner of Education.
