To the Editor:

We read how the school board voted, 7-2, to apply for a grant to the Ocean County Planning Board. This grant application was to sell the school-owned property in Ship Bottom to the county. Funds generated from the sale would be enough to build an addition to the Ethel Jacobsen School in Surf City.

The county funds are accumulated over many years in the open space Natural Lands Trust Fund. These are your tax dollars.
