Congratulations to the Long Beach Island Consolidated Board of Education and administration on successfully following through on the plan to sell the LBI Grade School and consolidate to the Ethel Jacobsen School. Champagne all around!

I know it took years of hard work and a Herculean effort to bring this plan to fruition. I know this because I served as president on that board for a couple of years and we tried to do the very same thing without success.
