Codifies regulations concerning State-excused absences; permits excused absence for students attending military service activities, certain school visits, and open-houses.

Summary

The measure makes the seven categories of state‑excused absences for public‑school students into law and expands the list to include up to three days per year for 11th‑ and 12th‑grade students who attend military service activities, college, vocational or trade school visits, or labor‑related open houses. It applies to all public‑school students in New Jersey and requires schools to record these absences as state‑excused, which do not count against perfect‑attendance calculations. Documentation must be provided to the superintendent or principal to verify eligibility.
