Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 18a:4-1, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 18a:4-1.
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. New Jersey and the nation have experienced an increase in the number of disconnected
youth, which are young adults aged 16 to 24 who are disconnected from both school
and employment. b. In New Jersey, more than 100,000 individuals were disconnected from school in 2021. c. Disconnection from school can negatively impact an individual and their family
and can have an enduring economic and social impact on the local community and society
at large. d. Despite common misconceptions, youth disconnection is not consigned to a singular
demographic region or racial or ethnic group, as youth disconnection rates are high
across all counties and racial and ethnic groups. e. While the challenge of reengaging disconnected youth has persisted for decades,
the COVID-19 pandemic illuminated and exacerbated youth disconnection, making it an
issue that should urgently be addressed. f. It is altogether fitting and proper that the State ensure all young people receive
the resources and support to achieve their educational and postsecondary goals by
providing prevention and intervention strategies for reengaging disconnected youth
across the State.
