Bill > S2860

This bill establishes a two-year Sports Equipment Equity Pilot Program, which will award grants to public schools (including school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects) in New Jersey to help enhance their athletic programs by providing students with sports equipment and other resources to participate in sports and physical activities. The bill outlines the application process for public schools to apply for the grants, and requires the Commissioner of Education to select six public schools from different regions and types of areas to participate in the pilot program. At the end of the pilot program, the participating public schools must submit reports to the Commissioner, who will then provide a report to the Governor and the Legislature on the implementation and effectiveness of the program, including a recommendation on whether to continue and expand it to additional public schools in the state.
