S 2320 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that children under care, custody or supervision of DCPP may not be home-schooled.

This bill (S 2320) prohibits home schooling for children under the care, custody, or supervision of New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP), including those placed in resource family homes or kinship care. It mandates that these children must attend a public or nonpublic school instead of being home-schooled. The law overrides any existing provisions that might permit home education for such children and takes effect immediately upon enactment. This directly affects children in state custody or foster care settings who would otherwise have home schooling options.
