A 4034 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to award students high school graduation credits in health, safety, and physical education for completing county fire academy course under certain circumstances.

This bill allows New Jersey high school students aged 16-18 to earn graduation credits in health, safety, and physical education by completing a county fire academy course. To qualify, students must pass a junior firefighter exam and commit to volunteering at their local fire department for two years. It directly affects students in participating school districts who complete the fire academy program under these conditions. The policy changes graduation requirements by recognizing fire academy training as meeting specific health/safety/PE credit standards, effective for the first full school year after enactment.
