Concerns enrollment of twins or higher order multiples in public preschool programs.

This bill extends existing New Jersey laws regarding classroom placement for twins and higher-order multiples to include public preschool programs. It allows parents to request that their multiples be placed in the same or separate classrooms, with the school principal making the final decision based on available space and educational needs. Additionally, the bill requires that when preschool seats are awarded through a lottery or open enrollment system, these siblings must be treated as a single unit to ensure they attend the same program. If one child requires special education services, the placement must align with that child's individualized education plan, and parents may be responsible for any extra transportation costs resulting from the requested arrangement.
