To the Editor:

Regarding the future of the two schools in the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District, while we have to go to referendum no matter what, the questions on the ballot can be adjusted. Why not have options presented?

One question would approve the sale of the LBI Grade School, fund a major addition to the Ethel Jacobsen School and end with a single site. Question 2 should be to retrofit and repair both schools, maintain a valuable property and minimize the tax impact to all the taxpayers.
