S 741 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires child in home education program and parents to meet annually with representative of resident school district.

This bill requires children in home education programs and their parents or guardians in New Jersey to meet annually with a school district representative. The representative must be a designated school counselor, nurse, or social worker employed by the district. The meeting serves two purposes: allowing parents to request school support for their home education, and enabling the school staff to conduct a general health and wellness check on the child. The requirement takes effect in the first full school year after the bill is enacted.
