New JerseyPublic school employees would have to be people
Public schools would have to staff jobs with people and use people for in-school services contracted by education boards or trustees of charter schools or renaissance school projects.
What it does
Public school employees would have to be people. The rule would also cover individuals providing services in a public school under contracts with a school board or trustees of a charter school or renaissance school project.
Argument forStudents could deal with a person in school roles involving regular contact with them, rather than an automated system serving as that worker.
Argument againstSchools might have fewer ways to fill covered jobs because an automated system could not serve as the employee or covered contract worker.
More detail
Public schools would have to use people as employees and as individual workers under covered contracts. Contract workers are covered when they provide services in a public school under a contract with a board of education or the trustees of a charter school or renaissance school project. Covered positions include teachers, nurses, and bus drivers, along with other jobs involving regular contact with students. The rule would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
