Bill Summary
This bill requires a board of education to provide a hiring preference to veterans for teaching positions. In order to be eligible for the preference, the bill provides that when applying for employment with a board of education, a veteran is required to be equally qualified in all measurable criteria with all other candidates for the position. The bill specifies that in the case of a school district that has adopted Title 11A, Civil Service, of the New Jersey Statutes (approximately nine school districts), the veteran preference provisions of that chapter for those persons in the classified service of the civil service supersedes the bill's provision.
AI Summary
This bill requires a board of education to provide a hiring preference to veterans for teaching positions, as long as the veteran and non-veteran candidates are equally qualified. However, in school districts that have adopted Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes (the Civil Service), the veteran preference provisions of that chapter will supersede the bill's provisions for those in the classified civil service. The bill takes effect immediately.
