Establishes standards for annual height, weight, and blood pressure screening of public school students.

This New Jersey bill (A 2716) sets new standards for annual health screenings in public schools for students in grades K-12, requiring schools to screen for height, weight, and blood pressure. It mandates that screenings be conducted by school physicians or nurses, one class at a time with physical privacy barriers, and must not rely solely on BMI - instead, weight evaluations must consider factors like access to healthy food, exercise opportunities, and other lifestyle barriers. Schools must also hold age-appropriate pre-screening discussions to explain the purpose and reduce student anxiety. The State Board of Education must create regulations including additional health markers (such as age, gender, race, and genetic history) for weight assessments. The bill takes effect for the first full school year after enactment.
