Bill Summary

Current law requires each school district to incorporate age-appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention education in grades preschool through 12 as part of the district's implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education. The bill amends this requirement to provide that the required educational content will include, among other subject matter, instruction on Internet safety and the dangers of online predators. The bill also includes the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking among the entities that the Commissioner of Education must consult when providing school districts with age-appropriate sample learning activities and resources in order to effectuate this section of law.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that all New Jersey schools, from preschool through 12th grade, must include instruction on Internet safety and the risks associated with online predators within their existing curriculum on sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention. This educational requirement is part of the state's Comprehensive Health and Physical Education standards. Additionally, the Commissioner of Education, who oversees educational standards, will now consult with the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking, in addition to other previously named organizations, when developing and providing schools with age-appropriate resources and learning materials to help implement these updated educational guidelines.
