Belen BoE discusses possible closure of H.T. Jaramillo Elementary
It was data versus emotion at a Monday evening workshop to discuss the possible closure of a Belen elementary school.
With a shrinking student population, Belen Consolidated Schools finds itself having to consider the closure of H.T. Jaramillo Elementary School in the near future in order to be able to ask for financial help from the state to build new schools down the road.
At the July 13 Belen Board of Education meeting, BCS Superintendent Lawrence Sanchez and consultant Colleen Martinez laid out two plans to redraw attendance boundaries for the district’s elementary schools, both of which would close the elementary school, which serves kindergarten through third-grade students.

Roselle police receive $100K grant for mental health services

The Roselle Police Department has received a $100,000 grant to provide mental health services for crime victims and department employees.
The grant from the Bloomingdale Township Mental Health Board is the third of its kind since 2019 and will help expand services to ensure a counselor is on duty seven days a week. It also allows officials to increase counselor availability from 40 hours per week to 60.
I always thought that mental health services should be part of the department, Police Chief Steve Herron said. I m happy to be the catalyst for that and I think this is a step in the right direction.
