Maximizing partnerships between state agencies, with associations, and advocates can expand the state’s capacity to support student mental health and wellness and academic achievement. The New Jersey Department of Education looks forward to expanding partnerships to positively impact outcomes through the reach of partnerships.
New Jersey is proud to work with the National Partnership for Student Success (NPSS), a recently created coalition at the federal level working to get more adults into high-impact roles supporting students in communities nationwide.
IN DEVELOPMENT
In partnership with the New Jersey Department of Human Services and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the New Jersey Department of Education is committed to support the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT), a federal program designed to help families with children who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals, participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), but were unable to receive benefits because their school was closed or operating with reduced attendance or hours for at least five consecutive days due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
