Remote schooling means snow days could become optional in NJ

MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Many New Jersey children may soon have to experience snow days from the inside looking out if some state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle get their way.Legislation before the state would give school districts the option of using snow days during inclement weather.
