S 4357 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires nonpublic school to forward student discipline records of students who transfer to public school.

This bill requires nonpublic schools (like private or religious schools) to share a student's disciplinary records with a public school district when that student transfers. Upon the public school's written request, nonpublic schools must provide all disciplinary information from the student's file and notify the district if they have court or law enforcement records about the student. Parents or adult students must be notified in writing about the record transfer, but their consent is not required. The bill creates a process similar to existing rules for public school transfers, ensuring consistent record-sharing for student safety and school management.
