Provides for excused absences for public school students involved in election activities on day of general election under certain circumstances.
This bill allows public school students aged 14 and older in New Jersey to receive excused absences for participating in non-partisan election-related activities on general election day. Students must provide documentation - including a supervisor’s signature, activity description, and proof the activity was approved by their school and not partisan - to their school administrators. The bill specifically covers activities like observing polls, simulated voting, or transporting voters, as long as the school board approves them in advance and the student’s academic performance meets school-set standards. Schools may deny excused absences if a student’s academic achievement falls below a board-defined level.
