S 3920 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires school calendar to include certain days for inclement weather and emergencies.

This bill requires New Jersey school boards to include at least three days in their annual school calendars that can be used to close schools during inclement weather or emergencies. The provision directly affects school districts across the state by mandating they plan for these potential closure days in advance. Under current law, school boards have discretion to determine school dates, but this act adds a specific requirement to proactively reserve three days for weather-related or emergency closures. The law takes effect in the first full school year after it is enacted, ensuring districts must plan for these days before the school year begins.
