Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) to create model policies for schools to notify parents before students are exposed to sexually explicit content in the curriculum. It also mandates that school boards adopt similar policies, ensuring parents have the opportunity to review materials or request alternative, non-explicit options. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not allow for the censorship of books in schools.
