Murphy to Announce Today Whether Schools Will Be Closed Through End of Year
While thousands of students are still without necessary technology for remote instruction, education officials say there are ways to close the gaps
By John Mooney, NJSpotlight
Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to announce today whether schools will remain closed and on remote instruction for the rest of the school year, with most bets that he will call it for the year.
But as schools prepare for what some called the inevitability of extended closure, it will raise a host of questions for not just this school year but also the next.
Murphy has yet to show his hand, saying he will save it for the announcement today or possibly tomorrow. He has stressed public health first.
