A 1998 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Safe Remote Learning Program in DOE to support provision of remote instruction facilities by public schools.

This bill establishes a Safe Remote Learning Program within New Jersey's Department of Education to support public schools (including districts, charter schools, and renaissance schools) that implemented partial or full-time remote instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It requires remote learning facilities to meet health/safety standards, provide necessary devices and internet access for all students, and be staffed appropriately. Schools must allow student access to these facilities upon parent request, with priority given to students eligible for free meals or with essential worker caregivers. The state will reimburse schools for facility costs using federal pandemic relief funds, such as those from the CARES Act.
