TUCKERTON – In response to concerns about air quality during school renovations, Pinelands Regional schools were closed today.
Dr. Cheryl Stevenson, the executive director of curriculum and instruction, recorded a message on behalf of the superintendent’s office. This recording was posted online by residents.
