Several Ocean County school districts have announced closures or delays for Monday, Dec. 15, 2025. Snow totals reached up to 8 inches in parts of New Jersey. The National Weather Service warns that refreezing slush will create black ice through Monday morning, with wind chills near zero along the coast and as low as 8 below zero inland.

 Transportation Update from LSTA:

We operate approximately 2,300 daily bus routes, many shared with surrounding districts. Due to five neighboring districts running on a 90-minute delay, routes were adjusted overnight. We thank our transportation vendors and Lakewood, Toms River, Jackson, and Howell Police and DPW for their efforts.

As of now, Boys Elementary and Boys High Schools will run on a regular bus schedule.

Girls High School and Girls Elementary School will run on a 90-minute delay.

Start times are set by each school-please follow communication from your child's school. Some routes may have different drivers, and road conditions may cause delays. Thank you for your patience.

If anything changes, we will be in touch.
