This bill amends N.J.S.18A:4-7 to stipulate that members of the State Board of Education can only be recorded as present at meetings if they attend in person, unless a state of emergency declared by the Governor allows for exceptions. Additionally, it mandates that the State Board of Education hold public meetings at least once a month, with no meeting starting later than 8 PM.

Furthermore, the bill ensures that all public meetings are accessible both in person and virtually, requiring a publicly available link for virtual access on the State Board of Education's website. It also allows members of the public to provide comments through remote communication during meetings where public comment is accepted. This legislation aims to enhance accountability and accessibility in the operations of the State Board of Education.
