About BerkeleyHeights.news

Who runs this site

BerkeleyHeights.news is an independent, resident-run civic watch site for Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. It is not affiliated with the township, the school district, or any campaign. Every page links back to the public records it was generated from.

How this site works

Software monitors official public sources and turns them into plain-English pages:

• Meeting agendas, minutes, and packets from the township, Board of Education, and land-use boards.
• Official meeting videos, which are transcribed and summarized into meeting recaps.
• Township bill lists, which feed the spending dashboard and bill pages.
• Public meeting calendars, executive-session references, and library finance records.
• Local news stories about Berkeley Heights from area outlets.

AI disclosure

Summaries and flagged items are drafted with AI assistance from the source records; a human editor reviews flagged items before they are treated as news. Automated drafts can miss context, so every summary links to the record it came from — verify against the source before repeating a claim.
