New Jersey A1728 prohibits public schools from denying admittance to students due to tardiness or dress code violations.

New Jersey A1728 amends the state's education law to ensure that public schools cannot deny admittance to students for being tardy or violating dress code or school uniform policies. The bill clarifies that schools may still enforce other student conduct policies, but students cannot be denied entry for tardiness or dress code issues. The legislation also allows schools to adopt dress code policies if requested by the principal, staff, and parents, and mandates assistance for economically disadvantaged students in such cases. The act takes effect immediately.
