S 370 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires public schools to provide age-appropriate information to students in grades nine through 12 on United States military and veterans.

New Jersey's S 370 requires public high schools (grades 9-12) to hold two annual events: a 30-minute assembly in November covering military structure, veterans' contributions, and programs like ROTC/service academies, and a veterans appreciation event. Schools must consult local veterans' associations to develop the appreciation event, which can include honoring veterans, featuring veteran speakers, or alternative military-themed activities. The bill applies immediately to the first full school year after enactment, focusing on providing age-appropriate military and veterans education. It directly affects all New Jersey public high schools with grades 9-12, mandating specific curriculum content and community engagement.
