Directs DOE to conduct study concerning student caregivers.
This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Education to study the academic impact on high school students who serve as primary caregivers at home. The study must examine specific issues these students face, their absenteeism rates, and their high school graduation and college enrollment outcomes. Within one year, the Department must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature with findings and any recommendations for potential support programs. The bill does not create new programs but mandates this research to inform future policy decisions.
