This bill establishes the Support for Immigration Enforcement-Affected Students Fund within the Department of Education in New Jersey. The fund is designed to provide financial support to public schools addressing the needs of students impacted by immigration enforcement activities. It will be financed through annual appropriations from the Legislature, federal grants, and other available funds. The resources from this fund can be utilized for various initiatives, including providing school-based therapy and trauma-informed mental health services, identifying resources to meet the needs of affected students, and offering grants for the employment and training of personnel who deliver these services.

The Department of Education will oversee the administration of the fund and determine the methodology for allocating funds to public schools. Schools that receive funding will be required to report back to the Department on how the funds are utilized. This legislation aims to ensure that students affected by immigration enforcement have access to necessary mental health support and resources to cope with trauma and separation from family members.
