Requires school district that includes any of grades 9 through 12 to biannually provide to local Workforce Investment Board list of students who left school prior to graduation.

This bill (A1612) requires New Jersey school districts with grades 9-12 to biannually share a list of students who left school before graduating (without intending to continue elsewhere) with their local Workforce Investment Board. The list must include each student's name, last known address, and phone number, and must be provided by February 15 and July 15 each school year. It directly affects school districts serving high school students and Workforce Investment Boards, aiming to connect early-leavers with workforce services. The requirement mirrors an existing 2000 Department of Education directive but formalizes it into law.
