Today's riddle: Where do math teachers go on vacation? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. How these South Jersey schools are adjusting to layoffs, budget cuts (thedailyjournal.com) — Cherry Hill Public Schools are closing a $29 million budget gap by cutting about 70 positions, mostly through attrition, and raising school taxes roughly $420 for an average home, spread over two years. District leaders also trimmed nearly $8 million from non-personnel costs, while warning that state aid cuts and rising benefits and transportation expenses are straining local finances.
2. Insider NJ's Morning Intelligence Briefing: 9/3/2026 (insidernj.com) — Cherry Hill parents should know the local PTA is organizing a Board of Education candidate forum, giving you a chance to hear directly from those seeking to help run township schools. The statewide political briefing also scans everything from data center fights to local development battles, but the Cherry Hill item is a key opportunity to get informed before school board decisions affect your family.
3. Best States for Veterans: New Jersey Guide (gijobs.com) — Veterans in Cherry Hill are well-positioned to tap Philadelphia's job market while still benefiting from New Jersey's veteran tax breaks and VA access. This statewide guide explains how careers in logistics, healthcare, defense, and pharma, plus pension and property-tax benefits, can offset the state's high housing costs. It also outlines why South Jersey suburbs like Cherry Hill appeal to military families.
4. Hamilton West football runs away from Lawrence for first victory (trentonian.com) — Hamilton West's football team bounced back from a lopsided opening loss with a 25-16 win over Lawrence, powered by big plays from its offense and a strong defensive effort. For Cherry Hill fans, the key takeaway is that Lawrence next hosts Cherry Hill West, setting up a notable early-season matchup for the local program.
