A 4930 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires board of education to adopt policy permitting remote attendance by board member in certain circumstances.

This bill requires New Jersey school boards to create a policy allowing board members to attend meetings remotely under specific circumstances, such as medical issues, childcare needs, or work obligations. The policy must specify approved situations, require advance approval from the board president, ensure remote participants can hear and see all discussions, and limit remote attendance to three consecutive meetings. School boards must also provide necessary technology for remote participation, and remote members count toward quorum. The policy applies directly to school board members and their local school districts.
