We feel like screaming too. The printing press where our newspaper prints each week is down so The Pilot will in all likelihood not make it to the post offices in time to be delivered Thurs. For that, we apologize and thank you in advance for your patience. Morgan Harper - Editor

The Pilot webcam overlooks the Southport waterfront, and we'd like to see if we can use it to share the 4th of July fireworks! Allow us a little grace if it doesn't work out perfectly! We're going to give it a shot! Check out our webcam at 9pm on the 4th: https://t.co/JkshZTuDgO

There are seven cases total at BCS locations, including two at Supply Elementary, two at North Brunswick High, one at Town Creek Elementary and one at central services. More than 40 people are under precautionary quarantine. Details change daily: https://t.co/GAHoUKugzB.

It’s not disclosed whether the positive case belongs to a student or faculty member. BCS is choosing not to report that as to not risk identification of a person or violation of privacy laws, said Chief Communications Officer Daniel Seamans.
