Requires each school district to have certified school nurse at each school building in district.
This bill requires every New Jersey public school district to employ a certified school nurse at each individual school building within the district. It directly affects all public school districts and their staffing requirements. The key provision amends existing law to mandate that every school building must have a certified school nurse present, rather than allowing districts to provide nursing services across multiple buildings with a single nurse. Districts may still supplement with non-certified nurses, but only if those nurses are assigned to the same building or school complex as the certified nurse. This changes current practice by requiring certified nursing presence at every building level.
