TRENTON, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy continued his push on Friday for all children to return to their classrooms this year, saying they can t stay away from full in-person instruction for an entire year.
Murphy told FOX5 that 90 percent of New Jersey schools are now either hybrid or fully in-person and my guess is that that gets close to 100 percent in hybrid or in person this school year, which is great.

TRENTON, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Monday that New Jersey will once again have to make important statewide changes to New Jersey schools as the coronavirus crisis continues.
Murphy announced during a Monday news conference that the state Department of Education will, for the second time, be waiving a graduation assessment test requirement for all New Jersey 12th graders this spring.
This is due to COVID-19 and so many students forced to learn virtually from home, he noted.
