Introduced Text

New Jersey S1376 requires public schools offering student psychological services to provide remote sessions.

New Jersey S1376 mandates that public schools, charter schools, and renaissance school projects offering student psychological services must allow students to attend counseling sessions or meetings with school psychologists through virtual or remote means. This applies to schools that employ a school psychologist and offer in-person services to students in grades kindergarten through 12. However, a student will not be required to attend a session remotely if the school psychologist determines that in-person counseling is in the best interest of the student.
