More public school districts across New Jersey have announced plans to start the new school year with all-remote instruction instead of allowing students and teachers to return to the classroom for in-person lessons, because of coronavirus concerns and state policy changes.

As of early Sunday morning, more than 120 districts have confirmed they have submitted plans for all-remote learning to the state Department of Education. The department has to approve those plans — as well as any other reopening proposals — before they can be implemented.

The state education department has already signed off on reopening plans for 196 school districts. However, the names of those districts have not been released.

The move to all-remote instruction plans for many public school districts was triggered by lingering concerns over the coronavirus outbreak and questions over whether schools can guarantee a safe environment for students and teachers.

Even though the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths across the state are far lower now than they were a few months ago, many teachers and school officials have opted to play it safe and start the new school year with virtual instruction.

Many districts initially planned to start the 2020-2021 school year with in-person classroom learning. But they revised their plans and held emergency meetings after an abrupt policy change by Gov. Phil Murphy last week.

The governor said districts that can provide a justifiable reason they can’t reopen safely — such as an inability to socially distance or having building ventilation issues — may reopen with all-remote instruction, but they must provide a plan to fix those issues and an expected date for a return to in-person classes.

The following districts have announced they’re seeking state approval to start with all-remote classes for the 2020-2021 school year. NJ Advance Media will add to the list as more districts announce their plans. (For the very latest reopening plans, and additional details about your school, please contact your school district.)
