Earlier this year, Barnegat Township resident Tracy Sutton’s daughter came home from school in tears. She is a student at the Joseph T. Donahue Elementary School, but next year the youngsterwould be moved to the Lillian M. Dunfee Elementary School according to a reconfiguring plan announced this month by Barnegat School District Superintendent Brian Latwis.

“I had no idea this was happening, and turned out nobody else knew about it, either,” said Sutton.
