A 902 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to close schools on days of general and primary elections.

This bill (A902) requires all New Jersey public school districts to close on days of general and primary elections, replacing current law that allows school boards to decide. It directly affects school districts statewide by mandating closures on these specific election days instead of leaving the decision to individual boards. The law takes effect immediately upon passage, changing the school calendar requirement for election days.
