New Jersey lawmakers are proposing a bill to require longer school days to make up for lost time during the pandemic. jennamdeangelis reports.
Even though children are back in school, it hasn't been easy getting them back on track, CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis reported Monday. Lemes is among those supporting a proposed bill that would buy more time in school for some New Jersey students. "This is a good moment to kind of fix the issue and trying to work with parents and with children," said Carolina Home, from Newark.
Turner, who is sponsoring the bill, said 20 districts would be chosen by the Department of Education, including five each from the southern, northern and central regions of the state. Five more would be picked based on academic need, focused on state testing results, graduation rates and dropout rates.
"Paterson could certainly benefit from this program. It just does need to be well planned," said Rosie Grant, executive director of Paterson Education Fund, a nonprofit community-based organization.
