To the Editor:
The latest action on Sept. 17 by the LBI Board of Education makes no sense to me. Why close the EJ School? If EJ is closed it could revert to Surf City for a purchase of about $250,000. My figure is based on an original price of $35,000 (1964) plus a rate increase of 4 percentper year. If you do the math you should get the same figure. My fear is that if EJ closes, a local builder could purchase the land to build houses on the property.
It is my understanding that the school board owns the LBI Grade School building and property.
