NJ Offers Guidelines For All-Remote Learning, As Parents Are Given More Flexibility

This fall, all public school students in New Jersey will have the option to learn entirely remotely if they don't feel safe going back to the classroom.

It'll be up to each district to roll out its plan for what in-person and remote teaching will look like. But whether at home or school, every child must receive the same quality of instruction, follow the same attendance policies and have the same length of school day.

Gov. Phil Murphy says he will use federal CARES money to connect the 230,000 students who still have no digital devices or internet access — and make sure they have the flexibility to go remote, too.
