SCR 116 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force" to promote importance of civility to students in grades kindergarten through 12.

SCR 116 is a procedural resolution establishing a "Joint Legislative Statesmanship Task Force" to promote civility in New Jersey schools. The 12-member task force, appointed equally from both legislative parties, will annually visit K-12 schools across urban, suburban, and rural areas to discuss practical civility - sharing examples of respectful disagreement and collaborative problem-solving in legislative work. It directly affects students by providing classroom discussions on applying civility in daily interactions, conflict resolution, and digital communication, using legislators' own experiences as real-world examples. The resolution does not create new curriculum requirements but focuses on experiential learning through direct engagement with students.
