New Jersey A2547 mandates that boards of education adopt policies permitting board members to attend and participate in meetings remotely via virtual or electronic means if extenuating circumstances prevent in-person attendance. The policy must describe these circumstances, require advance requests for remote attendance approved by the board president, and allow public and other board members to hear remote comments. Remote attendees are considered present for quorum purposes and can participate in executive or closed sessions if specific conditions are met.
