Cherry Hill School Board To Return To In-Person Meetings Aug. 10

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill Board of Education will begin meeting in-person again on Aug. 10, the school district announced this week.

Meetings will be held in the cafeteria at John A. Carusi Middle School, 315 Roosevelt Drive, at 6:30 p.m. Meetings had been held virtually since the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a statewide shutdown in March 2020.

The meetings will still be livestreamed, but there will be no online/call-in/email feature to participate in the public comment sections of the meetings, officials said. All public comments must be made in person at the meetings.

The Aug. 10 meeting will include the next presentation on the district’s safe return to school plan. The first presentation came on July 15, at which time officials said it is still too early to make a definitive statement about mask wearing inside the school buildings.

The district is currently considering whether to require masks for all students and staff; whether to make masking optional for vaccinated students and staff; and whether to make masking optional for all students and staff.

Presentations are also scheduled for the July 27 virtual meeting and the Aug. 24 in-person meeting. Read more here: Cherry Hill Schools Outline Plan For Safe Reopening
