This Week Ahead in Verona and Cedar Grove

It'll be a quiet week in both Verona and Cedar Grove — no township council, no board of education meetings this week.

Township councils in both townships have the week off, scheduled to reconvene May 7.

The Verona Board of Education is also off this week, but plans call for the board to have its last meeting May 8. Cedar Grove's Board of Education is done for the year.
