A 1696 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Commissioner of Education to appoint coordinator and regional consultants to coordinate the education of students with traumatic brain injury.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to appoint a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Education Coordinator and four Regional TBI Consultants (one for each of the state's four regions). The Coordinator will develop statewide systems to support students with TBIs - including protocols for hospital-to-school transitions, concussion return-to-class policies, and annual training for schools - and collect data on TBI incidence. Regional Consultants will provide direct support to school districts, helping them create resource teams, address student needs, and coordinate health/community services. The bill directly affects students with TBIs (including concussions), school districts, and school staff responsible for special education planning.
