2021-22 School Year
Teachers and Students will Return to NJ Classrooms Full-Time In Person
According to Governor Phil Murphy, all students will be back in school for full-time, in-person instruction for the 2021-2022 school year.
Gov. Phil Murphy said his executive order allowing for optional remote instruction would expire at the end of the current school year.
Next year, parents will not be able to have virtual learning as an option.
This year’s summer school programs are not impacted by the expiring executive order, Murphy added.
“We know that we can get back fully in-person safely, with the right protocols in place, and that is what we should all be planning to do,” the governor said. “Of course, we will continue to follow the science, and should there be a localized outbreak or other emergency, we will act accordingly. Otherwise, buildings will be fully open.”
Will masks be required for students/teachers in the Fall?
Recently reported by CNN, according to NIAID director Anthony Fauci, children who have not been vaccinated for the coronavirus will need to wear masks in schools this fall.
Fauci said that children in schools need to wear masks "when they're out there playing with their friends and, you know, particularly in an indoor situation." Fauci added that children younger than 12 will likely not be vaccinated until the end of the calendar year.
He also said he can "almost guarantee" that most schools will require students who have not been inoculated to wear masks.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last week that people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer need to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors, in most circumstances. unvaccinated kids must wear masks in school this fall.
