Requires members of State Board of Education to attend meetings in person to be recorded as present.
This bill requires members of New Jersey's State Board of Education to attend meetings in person to be counted as present, with exceptions only during a governor-declared state of emergency. It mandates that all public meetings must be accessible both in person and virtually, with a public link provided on the Board's website for remote access. The bill also ensures that members of the public can submit comments during meetings via remote communication methods. These changes directly affect State Board members, the public attending meetings, and the Board's meeting procedures. The policy focuses on ensuring physical attendance for voting records and expanding public participation options.
