NJ to permit all-remote learning

NJ Gov. Phil Murphy announced today that parents who have concerns about sending their children back to school during the COVID-19 pandemic will have the option to choose all-remote learning.

He said the Department of Education will release details later this week.

This news comes as the Haddonfield School District is soliciting feedback from parents, teachers, and members of the community on its draft plan for school in the fall.

Titled “On the Road Back,” the draft plan details two options:

  • Model 1 is based on 100% capacity
  • Model 2 is based on 50% capacity.

The basis for the two models is the District’s belief that schools and education are essential:

  • We value the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff
  • Children benefit from being physically present in school — Learning — Achievement — Socially

The district’s goal is to develop a plan for a September return to school that balances and maximizes those factors.

Based on feedback and continued research, the district’s Leadership Team will prepare a new model and present it during the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, July 28.
