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

Bill A 1691 requires New Jersey school districts to close all schools on the day of any general election or primary election for a general election. This directly affects all public school districts across New Jersey by mandating closures on these specific election days, removing the current discretion school boards have to decide whether to close. The key provision (Section 1) states that school boards "shall close the schools" on these election days, replacing the existing law that allowed districts to set their own calendar. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment and is currently pending in the Assembly State and Local Government Committee.
