S 714 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits students experiencing menstrual disorder to attend school remotely.

New Jersey bill S 714 permits students experiencing specific menstrual disorders - including dysmenorrhea (severe cramps), endometriosis, menorrhagia (heavy bleeding), or polycystic ovary syndrome - to attend school remotely. Students’ parents must submit a written request by the start of the school day and provide medical documentation if required by the school principal. Remote attendance counts as full classroom attendance for graduation and credit requirements. The bill directs the state education and health commissioners to create guidelines for schools on implementing this accommodation.
