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.
