To the Editor:

Since the Long Beach Island Board of Education is still up in the air over which of the district’s two schools to close, if any, I would like to shed some light in simple terms:

• Since the LBI Grade School’s capacity of 256 students is large enough to accommodate all the students in the district, no additional classrooms would be needed. When we no longer have the Choice program the enrollment would be less than 200 students.
