β’ Matawan-Aberdeen schools reopen to community groups after vandalism (app.com) β Matawan-Aberdeen schools have reopened their buildings to community groups, just a day after suspending outside use while officials investigated vandalism, unauthorized access, and drug paraphernalia. New safety protocols now govern all non-district use of school facilities, and organizations risk losing access if they donβt follow the rules, as district leaders stress protecting students and preserving buildings in Aberdeen.
