Student - Teacher Communications

All New Jersey public schools required by law to have similar policies in place

 In April, Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill that calls for New Jersey’s school districts to adopt a policy outlining the rules on how educators and other support staff should handle electronic communications with students. The term “electronic communication” includes phone calls, emails, computer networks, social media and texting and other instant messages.
 The districts had only within 120 days to adopt a written policy which the state said should include, at a minimum, provisions designed to prevent improper communications between school employees and students, but the state did not stipulate what rules should be implemented.
