📰 News we're reading

• NJDOE Awards Phone-Free Schools Grants to Five Morris County Districts; Madison School District (tapinto.net) — Madison School District was not selected in the first round of New Jersey’s new Phone-Free Schools Grant Program, even as five other Morris County districts secured funding. Local families should know another funding round is expected, which could still bring support for implementing stricter phone-free policies in Madison’s middle and high school classrooms.
