School districts around New Jersey are making changes to their reopening plans based on building conditions and personnel situations.
“Most classroom spaces in the Madison Public Schools are not air-conditioned,” Madison Superintendent Mark Schwarz wrote in an Aug. 17 letter, adding that fans cannot be used. Should temperatures “reach a level that makes mask-wearing unbearable,” he added, “all students will shift to full-time remote learning until temperature levels drop sufficiently.”

Sampson wrote in an Aug. 26 letter.
