Requires certain school districts and Commissioner of Education to submit reports on social and emotional learning.
This bill requires school districts in New Jersey that have chosen to adopt social and emotional learning standards to submit detailed reports to the Commissioner of Education within 180 days. These reports must describe how the districts implemented the standards and analyze their effects on student behavior, school climate, and academic outcomes. The Commissioner of Education will then compile a summary report for the Governor and Legislature, which may include recommendations for improving how these programs are managed across the state. The legislation is designed to gather data on the voluntary adoption of these competencies and will automatically expire once the Commissioner's final report is submitted.
