• Cherry Hill council hears school special needs discrimination complaints - (statebroadcastnews.com) — Cherry Hill council recently heard emotional complaints from residents who say the school district is sidelining special education parents, though members did not respond publicly. Council also advanced stricter private stormwater reporting rules, approved more than $23 million in bills—mostly for the school board—and extended key traffic-signal and infrastructure contracts that affect daily travel around town.
   

• The N.J. education department will hold a public forum on school funding Monday (inquirer.com) — Cherry Hill residents worried about years of underfunded schools are being urged to weigh in as the state holds a public forum on school funding Monday evening at Camden County College in Blackwood. The session is part of a broader outreach project that could shape how much aid districts like Cherry Hill receive, and residents can register in advance to speak or simply listen.
