Good Morning,
The decision to close Oakcrest High School this morning was made based upon significant electrical outages in the building. These outages, which began yesterday, would have impacted a number of aspects of our school day.
The decision was not made lightly and not without significant attempts to avoid such. We had maintenance staff on-site yesterday and through the night. We had contacted our electric provider for assistance, and they were involved with us overnight and this morning.
Despite these attempts, the building's electrical systems were still not functioning at a level we believed we needed to hold classes. The decision was made since Absegami and Cedar Creek had no issues, that those buildings will "go as normal" today.
Oakcrest will resume tomorrow with a "B DAY", as is scheduled. Additional information will be forthcoming on when we will make this day up for Oakcrest, though we can share at this time it will NOT be any of our scheduled October or November closings.
Thank You,
James Reina - Superintendent
Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School
