Provides that public school used as polling place shall not be open for classes on day of election.
This bill requires New Jersey school districts to close public schools for regular classes on election days when those schools serve as polling places. It allows school boards to use the day for staff training instead of holding classes. The law applies immediately to all election days, with its first application being the November 2021 general election. This policy directly affects school districts that use public schools as voting locations during elections.
