Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to include at least three days on their annual school calendars that can be used to close schools due to inclement weather or other emergencies. Currently, school districts have the flexibility to determine their school calendars, but this legislation adds a specific requirement for designated closure days. The bill aims to provide more predictable planning for students, families, and school staff in the event of severe weather or unexpected emergencies. It will take effect in the first full school year following its passage.
