• NJ superintendent wants remote learning on snow days (wpst.com) — Bayonne schools Superintendent John Niesz is urging Gov. Mikie Sherrill to let districts count remote learning on snow days toward New Jersey’s 180-day requirement, which could change how often local students lose classroom time to storms. His request has sparked a lively debate among parents, with some defending old-fashioned snow days and others arguing that Bayonne’s strong remote setup should be used instead of canceling school.
