Permits school districts to define excused absences, and provide home-instruction, for certain students whose parents are detained.

Summary

The bill lets public school districts in New Jersey count a student’s absence as excused when a parent or guardian is suddenly detained by ICE, or when the caregiver changes because of that detention. It also authorizes districts to provide home‑based or out‑of‑school instruction for those students. The goal is to give families facing immigration enforcement a way to keep children in school without penalty.
