Just over one-fifth of New Jersey’s public schools have switched to virtual learning due to COVID-19 as this week, according to state education officials.
A total of 516 schools, out of 2,679 schools, were conducting remote learning this week, according to a list of closures provided by the state Department of Education. The list noted 205 districts that were closed the previous week but scheduled to reopen on Monday.
That figure, representing 20% of schools, is down from 934 schools that were closed for in-person learning as of last Thursday, Yaple said.
