EDISON – A focus on continuing to address overcrowding issues with the Edison Public Schools and helping combat opioid problems in the community are at the forefront as Edison Mayor Thomas Lankey looks to move the township forward in 2021.
He said strategic partnerships and teamwork are important to achieve the focal points, which have already begun.
Lankey addressed the Edison Chamber of Commerce in the 30th State of the Township Address at the Pines Manor on Feb. 25.
He said a committee has been set up with himself, members of Edison Board of Education, Schools Superintendent Bernard Bragen and members of the Township Council to try to find a solution to the overcrowding issues with the Edison Public Schools.
Edison school, town officials plea for equal distribution of COVID-19 vaccine
EDISON – School and township officials have plans at the ready to administer the COVID-19 vaccine.
“At this point my job is to provide the resources,” said Andy Toth, deputy fire chief and office of emergency management coordinator. “We have refrigerators and freezers for the vaccine. We have plans in place all ready to go … we are just missing the vaccine.”
Toth joined Schools Superintendent Bernard Bragen, Township Councilman Joseph Coyle, and members of the Board of Education including Board President Jerry Shi, Board Vice President Mohin Patel, Board member Virginia White and Board member Biral Patel at a press conference to plea for equal distribution of the vaccine on Feb. 23.
More and more schools keep pushing back their return to classrooms as districts continue to deal with the pandemic.
Just 77 school districts across the state were offering full in-person instruction as of Jan. 4, while another 339 districts have started 2021 in an all-remote model with no immediate change in sight.
In Middlesex County, Woodbridge public schools announced they are all-remote until March 1. At that point, students will return to a hybrid model, which provides two days of in-person instruction per week, based on a cohort system.
“This is based on the diminished classroom capacity while keeping students 6 feet apart. The rooms that used to hold 25-30 students can now only hold 10-12,” Woodbridge schools Superintendent Robert Zega said in a written response to New Jersey 101.5.
