In other business, some residents may have noticed that the trees outside of Kershaw Middle School were removed.
While PSE&G was installing new telephone poles along the Black Horse Pike, they offered to remove the trees which were rotting on the inside at no cost to the school district.
They will be replaced with five dogwood trees by PSE&G, and positioned in prime spots in relation to the school and the highway.
Superintendent Joseph Rafferty lauded Maintenance Supervisor Chalie Blaylock and his crew for the exemplary job they did cleaning up after the snow storm, and said their diligence and hard work ensured the school grounds remained clean and safe.
