Follow-Up Announcements

Due to the previous week’s power outages, there has been a delay in distributing the final scores from State Public Presentations. Please be patient, they are coming soon.

There has also been a delay in the scoring for NJ State Virtual Fair entries as many of our department chairs and entry judges were also without power or internet for an extended period of time also due to Hurricane Isaias. The staff is working as quickly as possible to ensure all entries are being judged and scored recorded accordingly.
