New Jersey A2878 requires school districts to obtain written permission from parents or legal guardians before administering certain student health.

New Jersey A2878 mandates that school districts must receive written permission from a parent or legal guardian before administering anonymous, voluntary surveys to students. These surveys cover topics such as alcohol, tobacco, drug, and vaping use; sexual behavior and attitudes; behaviors contributing to injuries or violence; and physical activity and nutrition-related behaviors. The bill requires school districts to deliver a permission form to parents or legal guardians at least two weeks before administering the survey.
