New Jersey Assembly Bill A3904, permitting the use of virtual or remote instruction to meet the minimum 180 day school year requirement upon Commissioner approval of a plan and requiring all employees, private schools with approved plans, and contracted services providers be paid as if school is open, was approved on April 14, 2020.
This legislation modifies the terms and conditions a school district must follow in order to receive State aid during a declared state of emergency, public health emergency or a directive by the appropriate health agency or officer to institute a public health-related closure of more than three days.
How Will Virtual Instruction be credited towards the 180 required school days?
Who has authority to implement a school’s approved plan?
Can virtual and remote related services be provided?
How will virtual instruction impact public employees compensation?
How are contracts with private schools to be paid?
How are contracts with contracted service providers to be paid including educational services commissions, county special services school districts, and jointure commissions, shared services agreements and cooperative contracts entered into with any other public entity to be paid?
A school district is not required to make payments to a party in material breach of a contract if the breach was not due to a closure resulting from a state of emergency.
If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss the matter further, please contact me, Carolyn Chaudry, or the Scarinci Hollenbeck attorney with whom you work, at 201-896-4100.
