DeCamp Bus Lines has announced the transportation company will end service to and from New York City on April 7.

This impacts the 33, 66/66R, 44, 99, 88, 32, and 100 bus routes.

The company says the decision was due to lower ridership since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“DeCamp has sustained commuter services up to this point, thanks to the various federal and state financial assistance programs. But, without further assistance on the horizon, the economic losses from continued operations of the commuter services are too much to bear,” the company wrote in a statement.

DeCamp will continue its daily charter, shuttle and casino services to Atlantic City.

The company recommends commuters use New Jersey Transit services to get to and from New York City.

The 33, 66/66R, 44, 99, 88, 32 and 100 bus routes will be impacted.

Parents and students at Princeton High School are demanding to know why a beloved principal was suddenly let go without any warning.

Students say that Principal Frank Chmiel was in school on Thursday and then was gone.

"Why did they push him out in the middle of the school year without any warning?  That's traumatizing,” says parent Sasha Weinstein.

Students held a rally demanding answers. They say Chmiel changed their lives for the better. Weinstein says she saw Chmiel's impact in person while volunteering. She says he stoked ambition and was a positive voice.

"He's such an impact on the students, and I saw it,” Weinstein says. "We want transparency and accountability from the Board of Ed and [Superintendent Dr. Carol] Kelley.”

The Board of Education has not explained why Chmiel was let go. A statement was released stating "We know that leadership changes during the school year are difficult."

The statement continued, "The Board unanimously supported and supports the Superintendent and the difficult decisions that had to be made."

A petition has collected 2,300 names. Senior Ashey Chen says she would like to hand-deliver the petition to the Board of Education.

"I feel like we're all caught in a really weird, awkward place right now because there's a lot of confusion. There's a lot of anger,” says Chen.

Students say they are hoping Chmiel can get his job back because his impact is missed.

"He made me confident in myself, that I'd be able to do things and go far in life,” says student Ida Sidiak.

News 12 New Jersey reached out to Kelley for comment to find out if this effort will make a difference. The superintendent has not responded.

A New Jersey program that pairs mental health professionals with police officers answering calls is showing promising results.

The Brookings Institution looked at data from 342 police calls. It found that 97% of cases did not use force. It also found that 98% of calls did not result in an arrest.

The institution says the Arrive Together program has the potential to improve police-community relations and expand into neighboring states.

A Monmouth County town devastated by Superstorm Sandy 10 years ago is now getting some added flood protection from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Groundbreaking on the $50 million phase one of Union Beach's flood protection program was held on Monday. The project has been in the works for 28 years but didn't come in time to protect the town from the severe damage caused by Superstorm Sandy.

"This is a wonderful day for Union Beach," Mayor Charles Cocuzza said. "It is 28 years in the making, and we're grateful that it's finally getting ready to begin."

Work in the initial phase will include the construction of a beach berm with a planted dune, pedestrian and automobile crosswalks, and jetties. It comes at a cost of $50 million, with the majority of that cost absorbed by the federal government.

For residents in Union Beach who went through Superstorm Sandy in 2012, it seems like yesterday. The storm flooded and destroyed homes and infrastructure in Union Beach. Before the storm, plans were being put together to prevent this type of damage.

"One thing we've always lacked is the protection from that, so this what we hope to be the first step of the entire process to protect Union Beach completely," Cocuzza said.

News 12 New Jersey's Jim Murdoch spoke with a retired officer who was on duty on the night Sandy damaged Union Beach and said this project is a welcome addition to the town.

"I think it's going to mean a lot. It's going to increase your property value," said Tim Kelly, retired officer of Union Beach Police Department. "Everyone's worried, as I said earlier, about losing the view, but it's just because we're used to seeing it. Younger kids, they will probably appreciate it more when they grow up."

The project was authorized for construction by the Water Resources Development Act in 2007. Funding became available in 2013 through the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013. Phase 1 of the flood protection program is scheduled to be completed by November in Union Beach.

The Princeton University basketball team is on its way to the Sweet 16! News 12 New Jersey visited the Ivy League on Nassau Street, home of the No. 15 seeded Tigers, to see how students are celebrating the victory.

The Tigers' win over Missouri Saturday means they’ll play again this Friday vs. Creighton. It wasn’t quite pandemonium in Princeton. At least not yet. The University store in downtown Princeton is quiet. Outside looks like any other normal day. Yes, students are just returning from spring break, but their Ivy League champion Tigers men’s basketball team is heading to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.  

“I know it’s so quiet, but they’re there. I know they’re excited and they’ll come out,” Nina Dugger of Princeton said. “This is great for Princeton. This is great for New Jersey."

Naomi Vaida is a Princeton student from Ireland. Although she's not much of a sports fan, she says she recognizes the excitement of Princeton making it this far in the tournament.

It may seem like a normal start to the week around the Princeton University, but the excitement will ramp up even more as we get closer to Friday’s game. Those who work at the University Store on Nassau Street believe students will begin grabbing more gear.

March Madness is heading to the Sweet 16 without a handful of top teams. Two No. 1 seeds, Kansas and Purdue, No. 2 seed Arizona and No. 4 seed Virginia are all gone - and gone with them are millions of busted brackets.

It's been tough sledding for the bluebloods, too: Besides Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Indiana are all heading home. UCLA's drive for a 12th national title remains alive. 

Here is what to know with the regional semifinals up next at the NCAA Tournament:

The top four seeds in the tournament were given to Alabama, Houston, Kansas and Purdue. Each had its share of headaches to set up what is proving to be a chaotic tournament. The Boilermakers were the first to fall, ousted in a first-round stunner, and the Jayhawks followed the very next day. 

EAST REGION: The Boilermakers got a top seed for the fourth time, but Purdue was dumped by Fairleigh Dickinson in a near-historic upset. and the 2-seed, Marquette, is also gone. Up next: No. 9 seed FAU vs. No. 4 seed Tennessee and No. 3 seed Kansas State vs. No. 7 seed Michigan State, whose coach Tom Izzo is heading to his 15th regional.

SOUTH REGION: Alabama, led by coach Nate Oats in a challenging season, got a top seed for the first time behind SEC player of the year Brandon Miller, who has armed security on hand after being the subject of threats. Up next: No. 1 seed Alabama vs. No. 5 seed San Diego State and No. 6 seed Creighton vs. No. 15 seed Princeton, which is in rare territory.

MIDWEST REGION: Houston got a top seed and won its opener before a rugged victory over Auburn even with All-American Marcus Sasser hobbled by a groin injury. Up next: No. 1 seed Houston vs. No. 5 seed Miami and No. 2 seed Texas vs. No. 3 seed Xavier.

WEST REGION: Kansas, the top-seeded defending national champion that was without coach Bill Self in the tournament following a heart procedure, blew an 8-point halftime lead and lost to Arkansas. Up next: No. 2 seed UCLA vs. No. 3 Gonzaga and No. 4 seed UConn vs. No. 8 seed Arkansas.

Princeton used a late run to earn its first NCAA Tournament win in 25 years by ousting No. 2 seed Arizona and then answered any skeptics by rolling Missouri to lock in its first Sweet 16 spot in 56 years. 

Furman celebrated its first tourney appearance since 1980 with a win over No. 4 seed Virginia on a deep 3-pointer by JP Pegues with 2.4 seconds left. Then came 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson's win over Purdue as the 22 1/2-point underdog stifled 7-4 center Zach Edey to advance and join UMBC in the record books.

All that happened before the Razorbacks and shirtless coach Eric Musselman celebrated their win over the Jayhawks.

No. 4 seed Connecticut (27-8) vs. No. 8 seed Arkansas (22-13), Thursday, 7:15 p.m. ET (CBS)

The Huskies are returning to the Sweet 16 for the first time in nine years, and hoping to avoid being the next victim of Arkansas, which ousted defending champion Kansas. UConn outclassed Saint Mary’s 70-55 behind 24 points by Adama Sanogo and timely 3-point shooting.

No. 2 Kansas State (25-9) vs. No. 7 Michigan State (21-12), Thursday, 6:30 p.m. ET (TBS)

Tom Izzo is taking Michigan State to the Sweet 16 for the 15th time and first in four years after a 69-60 victory against No. 2 seed Marquette. The victory was the 16th for Izzo in the tournament against a higher seed, breaking the record he shared with recently retired Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. At Madison Square Garden, the Spartans will face a Kansas State team that was picked to finish last in the Big 12 with a remade roster and first-year coach in Jerome Tang. The Wildcats outlasted Kentucky 75-69 behind 27 points by Markquis Nowell.

No. 5 seed San Diego State (29-6) vs. No. 1 seed Alabama (31-5), Friday, 6:30 p.m. ET (TBS)

The Aztecs are heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2004 and have won 11 of their last 13. Balanced scoring carried them to a second-round victory against Furman and they’ll need more of the same against the Crimson Tide, who handily dispatched Maryland in the second round. All-America freshman Brandon Miller, who is nursing an injury, had 19 after going scoreless in the first round.

No. 3 seed Xavier (27-9) vs. No. 2 seed Texas (28-8), Friday, 9:45 p.m. ET (CBS)

The Musketeers are heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017 and will face a Longhorns team that hasn’t been there in 15 years. Xavier put on a clinic on unselfishness in the first half of its 84-73 victory against Pittsburgh, totaling 17 assists on 19 made field goals. The Longhorns made just one 3-pointer in 13 tries in their 71-66 victory against Penn State, but Dylan Disu had season-high 28-point performance. 

The SEC and Big Ten led the way by placing eight teams each in the 68-team field. Conference USA (Florida Atlantic) and the Ivy League (Princeton) each got one team into the tournament and both are still alive. The rest of the leagues can't say that. The records through two rounds:

ACC (5 teams made tourney): 5-4. One team left (Miami). American Athletic (2): 2-1. One team left (Houston). Big 12 (7): 7-5. Two teams left (Kansas State, Texas). Big East (5): 7-2. Three teams left (Creighton, UConn, Xavier). Big Ten (8): 6-7. One team left (Michigan State). Mountain West (4): 2-3. One team left (San Diego State). Pac-12 (4): 3-3. One team left (UCLA). SEC (8): 9-5. Three teams left (Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee). West Coast (2): 3-1. One team left (Gonzaga).

Gun violence has cost lives and disrupted college sports all season, touching some of the top programs in college basketball, including Alabama. Coaches have been thrust into uncertain and unwelcome roles in trying to navigate the topic - as well as the fallout from the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

On a lighter note, if you feel you know March Madness pretty well, try this 25-question trivia quiz put together by AP.

The NCAA Tournament is filled with great players and the AP All-America team is a good place to get familiar with the names. It's also an event where guys you've never heard of can take a star turn. Guard play is always going to be important (see: Baylor, 2021 title winner) and there are some NBA prospects in the mix.

Bet on this, too: Some player - maybe more than one - will have a chance to join the mustachioed Doug Edert (remember Saint Peters' inspiring run last year?) and find a way to cash in on their celebrity.

Every game of the men’s tournament will be aired - here is a schedule - either on CBS, TBS, TNT or TruTV and their digital platforms. CBS, which also has a handy schedule that includes announcing teams, will handle the Final Four and national title game this year.

The NCAA is streaming games via its March Madness Live option and CBS games are being streamed on Paramount+. Fans of longtime play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz should soak up every moment: It’s his final NCAA Tournament.

Who's going to win the national championship? The betting favorites to reach the Final Four are (in order, as of March 19): Alabama, Houston, UConn, UCLA, Gonzaga and Texas, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Sweet 16 weekend will see games in New York City (East Region), Las Vegas (West), Kansas City, Missouri (Midwest), and Louisville, Kentucky (South).

Where is the Final Four? In Houston, on April 1, with the championship game on April 3. Basketball aficionados, take note: The women’s NCAA Tournament will hold its Final Four in Dallas, a four-hour drive up the road from Houston.

Can't get enough March Madness? Well, there is talk about expanding the tournament despite a host of challenges. Enjoy the 68-team version for now!&nbsp;

Amazon plans to eliminate 9,000 more jobs in the next few weeks, CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday. 

The job cuts would mark the second largest round of layoffs in the company's history, adding to the 18,000 employees the company said it would lay off in January. 

In the memo, Jassy said the second phase of the company's annual planning process completed this month and led to the additional job cuts. He said Amazon will still hire in some strategic areas. 

“Some may ask why we didn’t announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall; and rather than rush through these assessments without the appropriate diligence, we chose to share these decisions as we’ve made them so people had the information as soon as possible,” Jassy said. 

The job cuts would mark the second largest round of layoffs in the company's history.
