Reports Given On Bullying, Test Scores
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – Members of the Howell Tow n sh ip Boa rd of E ducat ion along with district supervisors recently held its Semi-Annual Public Hearing on Violence and Vandalism, and Harassment/Intimidation and Bullying Report. This presentation discussed standardized test results along with a number of cases reported on violence and bullying. Director of Pupil Services Dorothea Fernandez started off the presentation with the reports on schools’ grades. The self-assessment summary report is determined by eight core elements and can receive a score of up to 78. Out of the 12 schools, 9 schools received a score of 75 and three schools had a score of 76. Fernandez then went on to discuss the violence and vandalism report for the district.

Will There Be Any Big Elections In 2023?
By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY - For those of us feeling election fatigue, there’s some good news: there will only be one huge election statewide in 2023. But, individual towns will have some nasty political battles.
National Races There won’t be any races for U.S. Senate or the House
of Representatives. Even though votes are still being counted as this is being written, and Georgia’s Senate race has gone to a runoff, the national picture is unlikely to change next year. The only way change could happen is if someone retires (or gets arrested or dies) in the middle of their term. If Senator Bob Menendez, for example, steps down tomor-
row and the Democrats pick Mikie Sherrill to replace him (as an example), then she would have to run in November of 2023 to complete the rest of his term. A Senate ter m is six years and a House term is two years. Senators are split into 3 classes. Senators in Class I were elected to office in the No-
vember 2018 general election, unless they took their seat through appointment or special election. Their terms run from the beginning of the 116th Congress on January 3, 2019 to the end of the 118th Congress on January 3, 2025. (So they’d be up for election in 2024.) Our Robert Menendez is in this class. (Elections - See Page 4)
