As part of his Jan. 4 coronavirus briefing, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy reemphasized the progress made with closing the digital divide in the state’s public schools, adding that the latest numbers will be shared Jan. 6.
“To our students back today, whether in person or remote, I wish you a terrific second half of the school year,” Murphy said. “And to all of our extraordinary educators, school officials, moms and dads, I send the same to you and thank you for all that you are doing day in and day out to keep our kids learning in the best and safe-as-possible environment in the context of what we can say is the understatement of the year: not a normal school year, a school year filled with stress, and people are doing heroic work out there.”
