Requires public schools that offer student psychological services to offer remote sessions.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts, charter schools, and renaissance schools (a type of charter school) that employ school psychologists to offer remote counseling sessions as an option for students in grades K-12. It mandates that schools must permit virtual sessions unless a school psychologist determines in-person counseling is necessary for a student's well-being. Students are not forced to use remote sessions and may continue attending in-person meetings if preferred. The law applies to schools already providing in-person psychological services and takes effect for the first full school year after enactment.
