Inclement Weather Procedure. As winter approaches we realize we cannot possibly call all of you to cancel a meeting should the need arise. If the weather is very bad in the afternoon preceding a meeting, please call 732-321-0880 after 4:00pm to determine whether the meeting will be held. If schools are closed in most districts, chances are we will not meet.
