S 1751 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires adoption of anti-nepotism policies by school districts and charter schools.

S 1751 requires New Jersey public school districts and charter schools to adopt anti-nepotism policies to receive state funding. These policies must prevent school board members, chief administrators, and other key staff from hiring or supervising their relatives (defined as spouses, children, or extended family), with limited exceptions for approved hires after a thorough candidate search. The bill also prohibits officials from participating in union negotiations when relatives are involved in bargaining, unless serving as a technical resource. School districts must implement these policies within 60 days of the bill's enactment.
