📰 News we're reading

• Sea Bright OK'd to dump Shore Regional; students might go here instead (app.com) — Highlands families could soon vote on whether Sea Bright students join the Henry Hudson PK-12 regional district, after New Jersey’s Supreme Court cleared Sea Bright to leave its current school arrangements. The move could reshape enrollment, tax sharing, and long-term planning for Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, and Sea Bright, but still requires additional steps, including a local referendum.
