The NJSBA alerted districts to these regulations earlier this month. The published version of the regulations contains a mailing address and e-mail address for comments from stakeholders and the public. Written comments on the proposal are due by Nov. 18, 2020, via email to dlgs@dca.nj.gov or by regular mail to:
