New Jersey A4361 permits excused absences for students in grades 11 and 12 for college visits, visits to postsecondary technical institutions, and military recruitment-related activities. The bill defines "military recruitment-related activity" as any activity required by the Armed Forces or the National Guard to enlist in military service, including testing, medical evaluations, interviews, and fingerprinting. Excused absences for these activities will not appear on transcripts, applications, or employment forms, and will not affect a student's perfect attendance record.
