As the end of the school year approaches, parents often find themselves overwhelmed with various school events, a phenomenon termed 'Maycember.' New Jersey lawmakers have recognized this struggle and proposed Senate bill 172, which offers tax credits to businesses that allow parents time off to attend school events. This bill aims to supplement existing paid sick leave policies, specifically to support parental involvement in schools, which has been shown to positively influence student performance and behavior over time.
Parental involvement in schools significantly impacts student outcomes, improving attendance, grades, and even reducing the likelihood of risky behaviors among adolescents.
Processing the complexities of parental responsibilities, especially during the 'Maycember' season, can force parents to choose between income and attending important school events.
