A 2329 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires local boards of education to employ certain number of school psychologists.

This bill requires every New Jersey public school to employ at least one full-time school psychologist, with a maximum student-to-psychologist ratio of 500:1 per school. It directly affects all local school districts and their students by mandating specific staffing levels for school psychologists. Districts must apply for federal funds to support implementation, and the requirement takes effect in the second full school year after enactment. The bill defines "school psychologist" as a licensed professional with a New Jersey educational services certificate in that field.
