Group says Montclair Public Schools, like Edgemont School, have been closed since March 2020. The Montclair Education Association and the New Jersey Education Association have both called for the continuation of remote learning for Montclair Public Schools, citing safety concerns due to increasing COVID-19 cases. Another group, called the Concerned Parents and Community Members of Montclair, NJ, is asking for schools to be open. In a petition, the group calls for Montclair Schools Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Ponds, Montclair Board of Education members, Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller and Governor Phil. Murphy to offer Montclair families options for both in-person and remote schooling.
