New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy will announce Friday the long-awaited plans for reopening schools this fall.
The guidance will advise more than 2,500 public schools on how to fully prepare for 1.4 million students returning to the classroom, though not necessarily at the same time. Some school superintendents — already deep into their reopening plans — have grown impatient, saying they need direction on critical issues such as health screenings and potential limits on building capacity.
“This guidance has been in the works for weeks, and will take into account the many differences which exist among our schools and education communities — whether they be geographic, demographic or economic — and acknowledge that there is no one-size-fits-all guidance that can be applied to every school and every district,” Murphy said Thursday in his daily media briefing.
“While this guidance will have clear standards to be followed in every district to ensure the safety of everyone in our school facilities, individual district superintendents and boards of education, working with their school communities, will be given flexibility to ensure an implementation strategy that best works for their specific needs, and which recognizes and respects the unique characteristics of each of our districts.”
Reopening schools is a major step in a return to normalcy as the state rebounds from the coronavirus pandemic. Many parents’ ability to work is reliant on childcare, making school reopening a significant step in the state’s economic recovery.
Murphy ordered all schools to close in March, and students finished the school year with three months of remote learning.
Departing state Education Commissioner Lamont Repollet is remaining with the department until Aug. 1 to oversee the implementation of the guidance. He was scheduled to become Kean University’s president July 1.
