Introduced Text

New Jersey A3461 mandates each school district to employ a certified school nurse at every school building.

New Jersey A3461 amends existing law to require every school district to have a certified school nurse at each school building. This bill specifies that a school district may supplement the services of the certified school nurse with non-certified nurses, provided they are assigned to the same school building or complex. The law also allows medically fragile students to receive clinical nursing services from a provider chosen by their parent or legal guardian, as long as the cost to the school district remains neutral.
