A 1822 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to include instruction on racial discrimination and social justice as part of implementation of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Social Studies for middle school students.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to incorporate age-appropriate instruction on racial discrimination and social justice into middle school Social Studies classes as part of their existing New Jersey Student Learning Standards implementation. It directly affects all middle school students and school districts across the state. The key mechanism mandates the Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Amistad Commission, to provide school districts with sample learning activities and resources to support this instruction. The requirement takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment.
