August 2020 - News and Announcement Updates

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

This coming week, our school buildings will officially reopen and welcome students for the first time since March. Luckily the state has provided our school community the flexibility it needs, and frankly deserves, to be able to make a reopening decision that works. Working with the Department of Education, the Mendham Township School District has implemented a school reopening plan that provides, to the best of our knowledge, the best balance of safety and academic success for students. Earlier this week, the Department of Education reported that 745 school reopening plans were submitted to the state. This includes both public and private schools. 436 of the 745 reopening plans envision a hybrid model of both in-person and remote learning. 59 districts plan to reopen to all in-person learning, a current total of 180 plan to begin their school years in an all-remote fashion, and 11 plans contain some mix of all of the above. I am so grateful that our Superintendent, Principals, Board of Education, educators, parents, and stakeholders have worked together to come to the right decision for Mendham Township. This kind of partnership is what has made our school district among the very best in the entire country, and is how our students will continue to be supported in a school year that will open unlike any other before it.

Residential Brush Pick-Up Starts on Monday

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Tropical Storm Isaias took down trees, poles, and wires, and left more than 1 million New Jersey residents without power including, at the height, 99% of Mendham Township homes. This was the third largest outage event throughout our state. Although power is never restored as quickly as we want it to be, I am grateful for the work crews who travelled from across the country to help get us up and running. The Mendham Township Office of Emergency Management (OEM) completed and submitted its preliminary damage assessment to the County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Due to the magnitude of the storm, the Department of Public Works crews will be going throughout the Township to pick up any residential storm related debris and brush that is placed curbside starting this Monday, August 24th. This process will go on for the next few weeks - we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. To ensure that our streets are safe and passable, debris and brush should be placed on your property near the curb and not in the roadway. Please remember to place your brush with the ends facing the roads. Also, nothing larger than 6 inches in diameter, or 6 feet long can be picked up. For complete details please visit this link: DPW Brush Pick-up<http://www.mendhamtownship.org/cn/webpage.cfm?tpid=10250> The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that the current oceanic and atmospheric conditions have indicated that it may be an “extremely active” hurricane season this year. It is important for all of us to do our part by getting prepared, remaining vigilant, and being ready to take action when necessary. Visit https://www.ready.gov/hurricanes for more information.

2020 Census

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars of federal funding are allocated to communities across the country. The census impacts funding for first responders, healthcare, infrastructure, emergency and disaster recovery efforts, schools, and much more. In FY2015, New Jersey received $17.56 billion dollars in federal grants. An amount about half the size of the entire state budget. Population data collected during the census also impacts how congressional seats and Electoral College votes are apportioned. In 2013, NJ lost another Congressional seat. We now have 12 congressional districts, the lowest number since 1933, which limits our state’s influence in federal decisions. Currently, there are census workers knocking on doors across the state interviewing households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau is working to complete data collection as quickly and safely as possible, while ensuring a complete and accurate count. All offices are scheduled to complete their work by September 30, 2020. Over 80% of Mendham households have responded to the census. if you haven’t, please do so immediately. Especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic, It is very important that everyone fills it out. Responding to the 2020 Census is secure, easy, and important. Visit 2020census.gov<http://2020census.gov/> to make sure you’re counted. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township
