Requires school districts to provide instruction on menstrual health and hygiene as part of implementation of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to include age-appropriate instruction on menstrual health and hygiene for students in grades 4 through 12 as part of their health and physical education curriculum. The instruction must cover proper use of menstrual products (including Toxic Shock Syndrome risks), symptoms and effects of menstrual disorders, impacts of period poverty, and when to seek medical help. Schools must notify parents before teaching these topics, and the requirement applies starting the first full school year after the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects all New Jersey public school districts serving grades 4-12 and their students.
