A 4819 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides increased flexibility in school district enrollment for military-connected students.

This bill (A4819) provides specific enrollment flexibility for military-connected students in New Jersey schools. It directly affects students dependent on active-duty military personnel, veterans, National Guard members, military retirees, or civilian military employees (as defined in the bill). Key provisions include waiving residency requirements for enrollment, granting preference in school placement, protecting against discrimination based on military status, and guaranteeing admission to any school under inter-district agreements if military orders document a temporary transfer of over 30 days. Parents can also choose to keep a child in their original school district through graduation for 11th graders, or enroll in installation schools within 10 days if housing isn't secured within 30 days.
