Establishes commission to study mental health impact of COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 students.

This bill creates a 17-member commission to study how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of K-12 students in New Jersey and assess available school mental health resources. The commission, including state agency heads, education and mental health experts, and school representatives, will identify which students and schools faced disproportionate mental health challenges, analyze impacted resources, and recommend staffing, funding, and program improvements. It must consult parents and teachers, then submit a final report to the Governor and Legislature within one year, with copies sent to all school districts. The commission will expire 30 days after the report is issued. This directly affects New Jersey's public school students, districts, and state agencies managing mental health services.
