📰 News we're reading

• Point Beach schools begin new year (starnewsgroup.com) — Point Pleasant Beach schools have kicked off the new year smoothly, with officials highlighting enrollment, math-focused curriculum changes, and a planned team performance center for student athletes. Local families can expect more daily math instruction for some high schoolers, continued strong graduation pathways, and growing tuition revenue that helps support district programs.
   

• Nor'easter Snarls Boston, NYC Flights This Weekend (travelerstoday.com) — Point Pleasant saw streets and vehicles submerged Saturday as a rare early-season nor'easter prompted voluntary evacuations and a state of emergency in several New Jersey counties. While the story focuses on major flight delays from Boston to New York, it also underscores how vulnerable Shore towns like Point Pleasant are to coastal flooding tied to high tides and strong onshore winds.
   

• Nor'easter Kills One and Triggers Emergencies in New York and New Jersey (memesita.com) — Point Pleasant residents faced voluntary evacuation orders Saturday as floodwaters from a powerful nor'easter covered local roads and forced families to wade through rising water. The same storm prompted a statewide emergency in New Jersey, battered other Shore towns, and caused major power outages and travel disruptions across the Northeast that could still affect local trips and relatives.
