New Jersey A4862 mandates school boards to include at least three days in the school calendar for inclement weather or emergencies.
New Jersey A4862 requires school boards to include at least three days in the annual school calendar for potential closures due to inclement weather or emergencies. This bill supplements existing law, which allows boards to determine school dates but does not mandate specific days for weather-related or emergency closures. The new requirement aims to ensure schools have built-in flexibility to handle unexpected weather or emergencies. The act will take effect in the first full school year following its enactment.
