Bill > A4830

This bill mandates that every board of education in New Jersey must create and implement a policy to manage the temperature within school buildings, aiming to ensure a learning environment that is as comfortable as possible for students. This policy will require each school's principal to assign a staff member to oversee adherence to temperature standards and take necessary actions to fix any issues. It will also outline a clear procedure for addressing situations where classroom temperatures are found to be unsuitable for learning, and specify which temperature control methods are allowed, making sure they comply with local building and fire safety regulations. The new rules will go into effect at the start of the school year following the bill's enactment.
