All New Jersey schools will remain closed for the rest of the school year, Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Monday. The announcement means the state’s 1.4 million grade school students will finish the academic year via remote instruction from their homes. The move follows Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement Friday that New York schools would remain closed for the year, with plans for beyond that still in the works. Murphy had promised an announcement on schools by May 15. He said Thursday he didn’t envision shortening the school year, except to account for a few snow days that weren’t needed. “We’re not going to shorten the school year,” he said. “The only question is, is it going to be remote or physical?”
