Gov. Phil Murphy says a decision on when schools can reopen to students could come by mid-June.

 

In a radio interview Wednesday on WFAN's "Moose and Maggie Show," the governor said the timetable for an announcement was not definite.

Gov. Murphy did stress the importance of getting students back into the buildings and doing it safely.

 

Schools in New Jersey have been physically closed since March 18. Students have been learning remotely. The governor has said they will remain closed through the end of this school year.

The governor says officials in the state departments of education and health are discussing how school will return in September.
