Introduced Text

New Jersey S1467 requires public schools offering student psychological services to provide remote sessions.

New Jersey S1467 mandates that public schools, charter schools, and renaissance school projects that offer student psychological services must also provide remote sessions. This ensures students unable to attend in-person sessions can still access counseling. The bill allows for remote counseling unless the school psychologist determines in-person sessions are in the student's best interest. The requirement applies to schools employing a school psychologist and offering in-person services to students in grades kindergarten through 12.
