It’s that time of year again!
I am so excited to kick off one of my favorite back-to-school traditions! For the 8th year, I will be delivering bookbags filled with school supplies to schools throughout Legislative District 31: Jersey City, Bayonne, and Kearny!

I truly love doing this each year because I know there may be a scholar who, for whatever reason, starts the school year without a bookbag or the supplies they need. By making sure our schools have extra bookbags on hand, we can help ensure that when there is a need, a scholar can receive one and start the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported.

Every child deserves to walk into school knowing that their community believes in them and is cheering them on. 💜

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed and helped make this year's initiative possible. Thank you for continuing to pour into our scholars and our schools!

🎒 The deliveries start TODAY! Let’s get our scholars ready for a great school year!

Access to early childhood support is essential for a deaf child’s successful language development, social growth, and long-term academic success.

We advanced S-3764 from Senator Angela V. McKnight & Senator Linda Greenstein to codify the “Level the Playing Field” early language instruction program for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and deaf-blind children in New Jersey.

NOW LAW: A bill from Senators Angela V. McKnight & Shirley K. Turner supports school counselors by ensuring they have the standards and training to help every student succeed.

By clarifying the duties of a school counselor and requiring holistic professional development standards, counselors will be better equipped to provide the most comprehensive skills and services to their students, parents and fellow staff.

A bill sponsored by McKnight and Turner to define and establish requirements for school counselors has been signed into law by Gov. Murphy.
