While New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on July 24 announced the state Department of Education’s newest guidelines mandating that all public schools must provide an at-home, all-remote option for students during the 2020-21 school year, Southern Regional School District Superintendent Craig Henry spent the afternoon with the administrative staff honing more of the details for Southern’s opening in September.

“We’re trying our best to get input from all stakeholders within the district,” Henry said late in the afternoon.
