Requires school programs of virtual or remote instruction to be implemented primarily through use of virtual instructional sessions.
New Jersey's S 1795 requires school districts to implement virtual or remote instruction primarily through interactive video sessions for students during closures due to emergencies. It applies to all public school districts, charter schools, and special education programs, ensuring students - especially those with disabilities - receive equivalent educational opportunities. The bill mandates that virtual days count toward the state’s 180-day school requirement and specifies that instruction must use real-time, interactive platforms rather than pre-recorded content. It also directs the education commissioner to address technology access, meal programs, and assessment schedules during virtual learning.
