Establishes the "Safe Schools and Communities Violence Prevention and Response Plan Act of 2023"; appropriates $10 million.

This bill requires each New Jersey county school superintendent to hire a violence prevention specialist who will develop a school safety plan with community partners like mental health providers, teachers, and parents. The plan must create a prevention team with mental health specialists to identify at-risk students, provide on-site mental health services, and coordinate with community agencies, law enforcement, and courts. It allocates $10 million from the state General Fund to the Department of Education for implementation, including annual updates to statewide guidelines and training materials. The bill directly affects all public school districts and students in New Jersey, focusing on early intervention and integrated mental health support within school communities.
