S 2117 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs State Board of Education to rescind New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education and directs boards of education to establish Parental Advisory Committees and adopt standards for health instruction.

This bill requires the State Board of Education to rescind New Jersey's 2020 Comprehensive Health and Physical Education standards and prohibits future adoption of similar curriculum requirements. It mandates that each local school district establish a publicly accessible Parental Advisory Committee (representing parents/guardians) to advise on health education standards, with all committee recommendations posted online. Districts must adopt new health education standards within 180 days of the bill's enactment, replacing the existing state-mandated standards. The bill directly affects all New Jersey public school districts, students, and parents by shifting curriculum authority to local committees rather than state standards.
