Nutley Public Schools Issues A News Update

Press release from the Nutley Public Schools:

April 17, 2020

According to Governor Phil Murphy, all New Jersey schools will remained closed until, at least, May 15. He announced this at Thursday's press conference.

"I'm announcing that our public schools will remain closed through at least Friday, May 15, another four weeks. I made this decision in careful consultation with Judy and the Department of Health, as well as Dr. Repollet at the Department of Education, among other key stakeholders. Let me be perfectly clear. There's nobody who wants to open the schools more than I do. I'm a father of four kids, one of whom is in high school, and I want him to return to his regular classrooms. But I can't do that right now. But I remain hopeful we can. We cannot be guided by emotion. We need to be guided by where the facts on the ground, science, and public health take us. And that means it will not be safe to reopen our schools or start sports back up for at least another four weeks." - Governor Murphy
