Requires parents who intend to home-school their children to inform the school district of that decision; requires school district to maintain record of each home-schooled child in the district.
This New Jersey bill requires parents who homeschool their children to notify their local school district superintendent by August 15 each year via written letter. School districts must then maintain records of each homeschooled child's name, age, and address within the district. The law applies directly to homeschooling families and their school districts across New Jersey, taking effect immediately upon passage. It establishes a simple annual notification and record-keeping requirement without altering curriculum standards or educational oversight.
