A 4892 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes conditions for operation of school-based health centers.

This bill (A4892) establishes clear operational standards for school-based health centers in New Jersey. It requires these centers - located on school property and operated separately from school districts - to ensure voluntary student participation, obtain written parental consent with guardian presence during services, and maintain strict health record privacy (separate from education records). The bill prohibits replacing school nurses or offering incentives for participation and mandates services be provided by qualified health professionals. It directly affects school districts, students, parents, and partnering health providers, while directing the State Board of Education to create implementing regulations.
