To apply for additional federal funding, the Rutherford Public Schools were required to submit a detailed plan for school operations as part of the application. The plan had to address mask wearing, social distancing practices and other regulations that were in place this past year.

The plan we submitted will be posted on our website as a condition of the grant, but it does not necessarily reflect the public safety rules that evolved for Fall 2021.

As we adapt to changing public health conditions, Rutherford Public Schools is determining how to best work within the guidelines and we are communicating them to the parents and the community.
