We would like to address your attention to the following matter of concern; namely, your recent budget cuts which eliminated 12 teaching positions in the Middle Township School District.
At the Middle School, the entire World Language Department was cut (two teachers) completely eliminating any possibility for the students to be able to learn introductory Spanish and French. In addition, the World Language Academic program - French 1 and Spanish 1 - that will enable students to matriculate into advanced placement French or Spanish by senior year, was cut.
Look to locals for township work

The anonymity of the internet brings concerned citizens to great criticism from dubious sources. It is difficult listening to folks who blindly defend either party simply because it is their affiliation. Worse is when it appears their livelihoods are entangled in the mix.

The entire staff of Middle Township High School would like to thank all of the people who spent many hours preparing for this year’s After Prom event on Saturday, April 26 at the high school. The students were treated to an outstanding night of games, activities, prizes and events in a safe environment.
