Requires reporting on post-secondary placement in registered apprenticeships and enlistment in military services as part of school district accountability measure.
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to report on 12th-grade students who enter registered apprenticeships or enlist in the military (including National Guard) as part of their annual school performance reports. It mandates that this data be included alongside existing metrics like graduation rates and college enrollment, and integrated into the state's federal accountability system under the Every Student Succeeds Act. The bill specifies that this new metric must not negatively impact a school's overall accountability rating. The requirement applies to all public high schools and will first take effect in the school year following the bill's enactment.
