A 4776 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Parents' Bill of Rights Act"; requires disclosure of certain information to parents and guardians.

This bill establishes the "Parents' Bill of Rights Act" in New Jersey, granting parents and guardians specific rights to access information about their children's education and school experiences. The legislation requires schools to provide parents with access to curriculum materials, student records, health information, and notifications about incidents affecting student safety or well-being. Parents would also gain the right to opt out of certain health and sex education classes without academic penalty and to receive input on school policies affecting their children. The act mandates that schools establish policies to notify parents of these rights and prohibits school officials from interfering with or suppressing any of the enumerated parental rights.
