Requires DOE to include military-connected student identifier in student-level database; requires district inform teacher when military-connected student enrolls in class taught by teacher.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education to add a "military-connected student" identifier to its student database, defined as a dependent of active-duty military, National Guard, or reserve personnel. School districts must notify a teacher when a military-connected student enrolls in their class, allowing teachers to monitor academic engagement and provide support. The bill also mandates annual reports on these students' attendance, test scores, and graduation rates, while allowing parents to opt their child out of the notification system. It applies to all public schools in New Jersey starting after enactment.
