Designates September of each year as "School Absentee Awareness Month."
This bill designates September each year as "School Absentee Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It aims to raise public awareness about chronic absenteeism (students missing too many school days), which negatively impacts academic achievement and increases dropout risks. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools, communities, and officials to promote strategies that improve student attendance and engagement. This is a procedural measure focused on awareness, not new policy or funding.
