When Madi Cores Sailer’s high school switched to in-person learning this marking period, her choice was easy: she would keep learning virtually.
Cores Sailer, a senior at Freehold Township High School, is one of thousands of New Jersey students who have continued learning virtually, even after their schools have opened classrooms either full- or part-time.
“I would much prefer to have a regular senior year and be in school, but my parents completely left this decision up to me whether I want to go back or stay home,” she told NJ Advance Media. “And I think it just makes more sense to stay home with everything going on.”

And that’s only if the event, tentatively scheduled for May 22, takes place at all.
The current outdoor gathering limit of 200 people isn’t high enough to accommodate the large class of 380 students, said Mike Vicente, director of student activities and athletics. By the end of April, the administrators will review state guidelines and decide whether to forge ahead selling tickets and making seating arrangements, he said.

Middlesex County Association of School Admins told Murphy educators were essential frontline workers who need to be vaccinated quickly. (Shutterstock)
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ The Middlesex County Association of School Administrators joined their counterparts from neighboring school districts in urging Gov. Phil Murphy to prioritize vaccinating teachers and school staff.
The association said it was compelled to write to Murphy as they felt school staff and faculty were not being administered the with COVID-19 vaccine fast enough, to allow schools to provide students with a safe learning environment. It is apparent that many states have enacted aggressive educator vaccination strategies. Middlesex educational leaders are here to support your likely commitment to do the same.
