To the Editor:
On Sept. 26, the Long Beach Island School District will put a two-part bond proposal to the voters of the district. The district is proposing to close the Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom and merge all students into the Ethel Jacobsen School in Surf City. The proposal includes possibly spending $18.5 million for improvements to the school.
The board of education has made claims, which are not supported by any study, that they will save $350,000 or 5 percent of their annual budget.
