Bill overview
This bill requires that children who are in the care, custody, or supervision of the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP), including those in foster care or kinship care, must attend public or nonpublic schools rather than being homeschooled. The law overrides any existing provisions allowing for homeschooling in these circumstances. The goal is to ensure these children receive education within a traditional school setting. The bill takes effect immediately.
