S 3289 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs Commissioner of Education to develop sexual assault prevention training program for high school athletic directors and coaches of interscholastic sports programs.

S 3289 requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education, with input from the Division of Criminal Justice, to create a sexual assault prevention training program for high school athletic directors and coaches. The program must teach prevention strategies, how to recognize signs of sexual assault, and information about victim services (including medical, legal, and counseling resources) following existing state protocols. All coaches and athletic directors in public and nonpublic high school sports programs must complete this training every four years, with new appointees required to finish it within their first year. The training must be updated periodically to reflect current best practices in sexual assault prevention.
