A New Jersey school district has quarantined approximately 900 staff members and students due to a possible COVID-19 exposure. Toms River schools reported 251 COVID-19 cases with 864 students and 33 staff members placed under quarantine as of Wednesday morning. The district began the school year with a mask optional policy in non-air conditioned areas, NJ Advance Media reports. Masks were also optional for eight school days due to excessive heat.

Bus Driver Shortage Sends Students Home Early In NJ District
Students in one New Jersey school district will be going home early due to a bus driver staffing shortage. Glassboro school officials emailed parents on Friday saying the high school and intermediate schools would be dismissed 45 minutes earlier than normal due to a shortage of approximately eight drivers. A Board of Education meeting to discuss the issue is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m., at the high school. Anyone with the proper credentials is urged to apply for a position.
