A 1697 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires each board of education to adopt policy establishing temperature control standards and guidelines for school district facilities.

This bill requires all New Jersey public school districts to adopt a policy setting temperature standards for classrooms and school facilities. The policy must ensure temperatures support learning by designating staff to monitor compliance, creating protocols for extreme temperatures, and aligning with existing indoor air quality standards. School boards must also identify permitted temperature adjustments that follow building and fire codes. The state education and health departments will jointly create guidance to help schools implement these requirements, effective July 1 after the bill passes.
