Overview
This bill would allow New Jersey State employees and students to take excused absences to observe Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. State employees would be granted one additional day of administrative leave per calendar year for these observances, and school districts would be required to excuse student absences for these holidays. The bill also ensures that excused absences for these holidays are properly recorded on student attendance records and do not impact eligibility for awards or alternative testing opportunities.
