New Jersey Statutes Title 18A. Education 18A § 6-138

a. There is established in the Department of Education a grant program in which an eligible teacher employed by a school district may receive additional remuneration to teach science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) classes at a nonpublic school. Under the program, participating nonpublic schools shall form partnerships with eligible teachers and school districts, in which an eligible teacher employed by the district teaches STEM classes at the nonpublic school at such times and during such hours mutually agreed upon by the teacher, nonpublic school, and school district, which may include hours beyond regular public school day hours such as extended day, evening, or weekend programming.

b. The purposes of the grant program shall be to: incentivize current teachers to obtain the necessary qualifications to teach STEM subjects; incentivize individuals to enter the teaching profession to fill the demand for qualified educators in STEM subjects; assist in addressing the difficulties public and nonpublic schools face in attracting qualified educators in the STEM fields; and improve Statewide access to education in the STEM fields to address the workforce demands of New Jersey's economy.

c. A school district annually shall notify all teachers employed by the district of the grant program, and shall submit a list of all eligible teachers that express an interest in participating in the program to the executive county superintendent by January 15 of each year. The executive county superintendent shall share the lists with nonpublic schools upon request.
