Requires public schools to provide age-appropriate information to students in grades nine through 12 on United States military and veterans.
This bill requires all New Jersey public high schools (grades 9-12) to hold an annual 30-minute assembly in November (coinciding with Veterans Day) providing age-appropriate information about the U.S. military's structure, veterans' contributions to society, ROTC, service academies, and other military pathways. Schools must also host a separate veterans appreciation event each year, such as honoring veterans, featuring veteran speakers, or participating in military-themed educational activities. Public schools must consult local veterans associations to develop these events. The law applies to all affected schools starting with the first full school year after enactment.
