Requires board of education to provide an individual textbook for each student enrolled in a class.
This bill requires every New Jersey public school district to provide each student with their own textbook for classes that use one. It defines a textbook broadly to include physical books, workbooks, manuals, and electronic versions intended as the main study material. The law applies immediately to all such classes and ensures students have access to required learning materials for homework and tests. This directly affects school districts and students in New Jersey public schools, eliminating shared textbook shortages.
