Dear Editor:
In 2001, after North Bergen illegally replaced a NJDEP Green Acres funded softball field with its preschool trailers, Mayor Sacco said this would be “temporary”.
In the last 20 years, NB told NJDEP several times the preschool would be moved out of the park and each time, NB reneged.
Finally, on On 06-08-17 NJDEP told NB:
“Removing the trailers as quickly as possible is the only scenario we are considering, and is what the Township has assured us will happen.
Allowing the trailers to remain permanently is not an option.”

The district planned to reevaluate the learning plan at the end of the first marking period, but has now decided to remain virtual until the end of the second marking period in January of 2021. The decision was made in consultation with the West New York Health Department and Board of Education.
