Mayor Report
I only have a couple of items…
On August 17 the County Health Department reported that Cape May County was below 100 active cases – including out of county cases that have not completed the quarantine period. Remember that the population of the County grows significantly during the summer months so this number is very good news.
I want to take the opportunity to talk about our school. I know a lot of residents have asked about the Stone Harbor/Avalon School District and remarked on the possibility of increased enrollment. I attended the last Stone Harbor School Board meeting via Facebook live on Wednesday, August and learned that between the two schools there are 23 additional students registered. They are all residents of the Seven Mile Island – not tuition students.
Four new students are enrolled in the Avalon School and 19 more students are enrolled in the Stone Harbor School. The breakdown by class in Stone Harbor is Kindergarten four additional students, 1st Grade six additional students, 2nd Grade four additional students, 3rd Grade four additional students, and 4th grade one additional student. The first day of school is September 8th. That first week will be half days for students. The following week begins full days. Monday, Tuesday students in Group A will attend school in person, Wednesday is a remote learning day for all students. Thursday and Friday Group B will attend school in person.
Borough Hall returned to normal business hours last week on Monday, August 10. Employees have all returned to work and the building is open to the public. Hours for Public Access to Borough Hall are, as always Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 4:00 pm. We are continuing to strongly encourage appointments to conduct business. Please call or email in advance with the appropriate office and make your appointment. Please continue to use the drop box located at the 95th Street entrance for routine payments and/or paperwork. Do not enter the building if you feel ill. Just a reminder - face-coverings are required to enter Borough Hall and while inside always maintain social distancing.
