A 5167 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Commissioner of Education to recommend dates for spring break in school districts.

This bill requires the New Jersey Commissioner of Education to annually recommend specific dates for spring breaks for all public school districts. Under the new rules, districts that choose to offer spring breaks must consider these recommendations when creating their school calendars. The commissioner must provide these recommended dates to school districts by June 30 of the year before the school year begins. This measure aims to standardize the timing of spring breaks across the state while allowing individual districts the final decision on whether to implement them.
