Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Princeton BOE Extends Superintendent's Contract Through 2031 (patch.com) — Princeton residents will see continued stability in their public schools after the Board of Education voted to extend Superintendent Mike LaSusa's contract through June 2031, with structured salary increases. Board members and a Princeton councilman praised his leadership as crucial amid statewide financial pressures on districts, while LaSusa credited the Princeton community for motivating him to stay.
2. Princeton Residents Press Council On Hamilton, Linden Traffic Safety (patch.com) — Princeton residents are pressing Council to fix the dangerous Hamilton Avenue and Linden Lane intersection after a string of crashes, including four since March. Neighbors are urging speed tables and flashing beacons, while councilmembers cite enforcement data and pending engineering recommendations as they weigh long-promised traffic calming and funding questions.
3. Bristol Myers Squibb WARN Act Investigation (straussborrelli.com) — Bristol Myers Squibb has announced a mass layoff affecting 265 workers at its Princeton facility, and a law firm is investigating whether the company violated federal WARN Act notice rules. If you worked at the Princeton site and lacked 60 days' notice or severance, you may have legal options for back pay and benefits. This potential case could significantly impact many local families and the town's economy.
4. New meal exchange platform to launch after delayed rollout (dailyprincetonian.com) — Princeton University students will finally see the new meal.exchange platform go live this week, restoring swaps between eating clubs and dining halls after a delayed rollout. The student-built system keeps the familiar process but tweaks swipe rules, preserving a one-swipe exchange for this academic year before a costlier two-swipe structure begins next fall.
5. Men's water polo rebounds after opening loss, finishing 3–1 at MPSF Invitational (dailyprincetonian.com) — Princeton men's water polo bounced back from an opening loss at the MPSF Invitational to finish 3–1, highlighted by tight wins over UC Santa Barbara and Loyola Marymount. The Tigers showed depth and resilience against top West Coast programs and now return to Princeton preparing for conference play against Harvard and MIT this Saturday.
