A Note from the Commissioner of the NJ Department of Education | cnbnews.net

By Commissioner Christopher D. Cerf, New Jersey Department of Education

Last month, Hurricane Sandy affected our state in a more significant way than any of us could have imagined. While our schools have done a tremendous job reopening quickly after the storm to help students return to normal routines, we know that many communities continue to confront significant challenges and will take a long time to recover. We are committed to helping any family that was displaced by the storm learn about the options available to them and ways that the state can help. If you have any questions about how the storm has affected your child, you can reach our Hurricane Sandy hotline at 609-292-2070. In this newsletter, we are also including a number of ways that you can help recovering schools through donations or other support.
