Requires school districts to include information on events of September 11, 2001 as part of New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Social Studies; requires public schools to hold annual events commemorating September 11, 2001.
This bill requires New Jersey public schools to integrate age-appropriate lessons about the September 11, 2001 attacks into existing Social Studies curricula for all grade levels. It mandates coverage of specific topics, including the historical context, timeline of events, first responder heroism (including United Airlines Flight 93 passengers), and the global response to terrorism. Additionally, schools must hold annual commemorative events focused on conflict resolution, diversity, and tolerance for different religions and cultures. The law applies starting in the first full school year after enactment, with the state providing sample teaching resources.
