Manalapan

More than two months after Manalapan native Kyle Mullen's training death, his mother is pressing for military accountability and concrete answers.

Video shows Christopher Gregor forcing the child on a treadmill, two weeks before the boy's death. Gregor then did internet searches about internal bleeding and whether he could be tracked.

“These tyrants get you to be their brownshirt,” George Falcone, of Freehold, said to a police officer at the school board meeting.

A Navy SEAL candidate who died just hours after completing the grueling Hell Week test was identified Sunday as a 24-year-old sailor from Manalapan who joined the military last year.

Law enforcement around the country is being given federal support to address increasing threats targeting school board members, teachers, and other employees in public schools as the pandemic wears on.

"It's definitely become more competitive ... and the process has to start earlier," Mike Dillon, director of guidance and operations for the district, said of the application and admissions process.

The Manalapan-Englishtown superintendent who was removed from duty so that the Board of Education could allow parents to send their children to school without masks says he agreed to sacrifice his job for the best interests of the community.

An appreciation night at Tuesday's Manalapan-Englishtown Board of Education meeting turned into a "mob scene" of any parents protesting masks, police being called, and the retiring superintendent being suspended.

Many kids will now start with all-remote instruction, because wearing a mask in the heat gets uncomfortable fast.

A 17-year-old from Manalapan went on a mask-making binge, spending 24 hours creating 200 masks to donate to CentraState Hospital.
