Bill Summary
This bill requires boards of education of school districts that include grades nine through 12, or any combination thereof, to incorporate instruction on bleed control into the health curriculum for students as part of the district's implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education. Under the bill, a board of education may select a no-cost, non-certification instructional program to meet this requirement.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that school districts in New Jersey, specifically those with grades nine through twelve, must include instruction on how to control severe bleeding within their health education curriculum. This requirement is part of the broader implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education, which are guidelines for what students should learn in these subjects. Importantly, school districts have the flexibility to choose an instructional program for bleed control that does not cost anything and does not lead to a formal certification, making it easier to comply with this new requirement. The law will take effect immediately but will first apply to the school year that begins after the bill is officially enacted.
