On June 26, 2020, the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) published “The Road Back – Restart and Recovery Plan for Education” (NJDOE Guidance), a Guidance document to assist New Jersey school districts to develop, in collaboration with community stakeholders, a Restart and Recovery Plan to reopen schools in September 2020 that best fits the school district's local needs.

New Milford Public School District’s Restart and Recovery Plan has been developed to be consistent with the requirements in the NJDOE Guidance with consideration to the school district’s local needs in order to ensure school(s) in the district reopen safely and are prepared to accommodate students' unique needs during this unprecedented time.

The requirements outlined in the NJDOE Guidance and incorporated into this Plan are controlled by Executive Order of the Governor of New Jersey and are subject to change.

New Milford Public School District’s Restart and Recovery Plan addresses four key subject areas: Conditions for Learning; Leadership and Planning; Policy and Funding; and Continuity of Learning.
