To the Editor:

The Long Beach Island Consolidated Board of Education is at a crossroads. The public has lost faith inits ability to move forward and continues to be bogged down by the “C word” (consolidation). The public does not want it. The presentation at the special meeting earlier this month clearly demonstrated the disconnect between the public, administration and factions within the board itself.

The referendum that was proposed should have focused on fixing the LBI Grade School, period.
