A 1633 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOE to collect information on certain teacher misconduct and report to Legislature.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education (DOE) to annually collect data from all school districts on school employees who were disciplined, separated, or resigned due to pending or resolved allegations of child abuse, sexual misconduct, or harassment. The DOE must then submit two annual reports to the legislature: one summarizing the collected data broken down by school district and statewide, and another tracking implementation of a related 2018 law requiring background checks for school employees. The bill also prohibits unauthorized release of confidential information related to these reports. It directly affects school districts, the DOE, and the legislature, with no changes to employee employment standards.
