A 1936 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "School Opening and School Closing Student Safety Task Force" to review safety of students when schools open and close for school day.

This bill creates a temporary 12-member "School Opening and School Closing Student Safety Task Force" to study student safety during school arrival and departure times. The task force, including school administrators, teachers, parent representatives, and education experts, will examine current student-arrival/departure practices (like bus loading, drop-off zones, and traffic patterns), evaluate traffic impacts on safety, and assess staffing needs during these times. It must issue a final report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year of organizing. The task force expires 30 days after submitting its report, focusing solely on studying safety protocols without implementing new laws.
