In April 2020, Governor Murphy issued an executive order that became P.L.2020, c.27.  This law provides for the continuity of instruction in the event of a public health-related district closure by permitting the district to utilize virtual or remote instruction to satisfy the 180-day requirement pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:7F-9. 

 

This plan is developed to ensure that all students continue to receive high-quality, standards based virtual and/or remote instruction in the event a district closure lasting more than three-consecutive school days due to a declared state of emergency, declared public health emergency, or a directive by the by the appropriate health agency or officer to institute a public health-related closure.
