TRENTON - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced on Wednesday that public schools that cannot meet coronavirus health and safety standards will begin the academic year remotely.The first-term Democrat said that school districts must provide a plan that ensures an in-person educational setting will meet the state-mandated COVID-19 safety protocol.
Districts must also submit an anticipated date to resume in-person instruction."When our schools open in September, they must be ready to safely provide the high-quality education to all students that is a hallmark of New Jersey," Murphy tweeted.New Jersey's original school reopening plan did not allow an entirely remote learning experience.
