New Jersey A1739 allows schools to use virtual or remote instruction during inclement weather to meet the 180-day school year requirement.

New Jersey A1739 amends the state's education law to permit the use of virtual or remote instruction during inclement weather to meet the minimum 180-day school year requirement. The bill requires school districts and charter schools to develop policies for virtual or remote instruction on days when schools are closed due to weather. It allows up to three days of virtual or remote instruction per school year to count towards the 180-day requirement.
