Barnegat Morning Report, Feb. 9

Good morning, everybody. Today is Thursday, Feb. 9.

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON:

The snow that started falling yesterday evening stopped before a lot of us went to bed, leaving little accumulation. We'll have a quick report for you this morning on road conditions and what's ahead in the forecast. There are no school delays, though kids have a default "snow morning," since there's a scheduled late opening for district schools today.

Also coming up is a report out of last public forum at the Collins School, where contractors discussed the school's extensive mold cleanup and plans for the future.

And later in the day, look for our breakdown and analysis of last year's test score results from the Barnegat schools.
