A 4067 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Attorney General to provide annual training to public and nonpublic school students and staff on roles and responsibilities before, during, and after school emergencies.

This New Jersey bill requires the Attorney General, working with the Department of Education, to provide annual training to all students and staff in public and nonpublic schools on their roles before, during, and after emergencies like lockdowns, bomb threats, and active shooter incidents. The training must be delivered both in person at regional locations and online, with the Department of Education issuing an annual calendar listing specific dates, times, and locations for schools to access. The bill also ensures substitute staff and non-school youth program supervisors receive relevant safety information, while requiring training to address the needs of students with disabilities. This policy directly affects all New Jersey school districts, receiving schools, and nonpublic schools, mandating concrete changes to emergency preparedness protocols.
