Requires board of education to provide an individual textbook for each student enrolled in a class.
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to provide one individual textbook (including physical books, workbooks, manuals, or electronic versions) for every student enrolled in any class that uses textbooks as the main learning resource. It directly affects public school districts and all students in classes using textbooks, ensuring each student receives their own copy instead of sharing. The key provision mandates that school boards must supply these individual textbooks immediately upon the bill's enactment. This policy change aims to address situations where students lacked textbooks, potentially hindering their ability to complete assignments and prepare for assessments.
